Other Man-cub
The Lake

Your words of warning fell deafly on my ears that day,
I took away meanings you never meant to convey,
I dreamt up new ones, but good dreams come and go to my dismay,
I'm afraid, but that's ok.

When love of structures, of all the rules and buffers,
Are all outgrown and you want to swim all on your own,
You'll find still water, and it runs deep just like they always say,
You might drown, but that's ok.

I don't know why I swam into deep water,
Mother told me to stay where it was shallow,
But I'm adventurous, now I'm in the bottom of the lake,
The lake, the lake, the lake.

The Lake.
