"Shallow"

There is currently music for this but it's kinda shit so you don't get to hear it In my seventh year, I was awed and in fear By a great current of water that I went too near by chance And when I prayed for nymphs to release me, I suddenly saw - The water's shallow. In my thirteenth year, I dove off a cliff Into the dark blue sea to drink the calm beneath And only upon hitting the rocks it dawned on me - The water's shallow. In my seventeenth year, I looked myself in the eye, Wanted to see a well so deep that it swallowed all light And the well was sure deep enough But the water was shallow. And the deeper I dive into this big, great thing That I've been crawling towards for years but it's just out of reach The more I realize - The water's shallow.
