Stranded

Outside of these bars, I see sand and water.
But that's all I see.
I've been picking the same lock for years,
And it seems to be a waste.
Even if I left these chains, I'd still be
Stranded. Here.

My little paper boat won't reach the sea,
It just sits on dry land, waiting to be
Rescued by a sailor passing by.
My heart is wet and my eyes are dry.
I don't have a watch to time the penalty I pay,
But I know in my heart that I'll never escape,
Even if your hand reached for mine, tomorrow, today,
I'd still be Stranded. Here.
