"Drowning for Mako"

It was a dark cold emptiness
that I had to brave for you
Frayed knots I need to undo

My limbs grow cold and unfeeling
and I start to slip under
Don't let me go, never
let me go without an inkling

Will this be a short journey?
Or am I doomed to failure
floating, floating forever

My bones grow brittle and
I start to break apart
Oh my fragile heart!
Fractured from end to end

The water fills me, it fills me
It consumes, takes me over
And slowly, I'm pulled under

My shell expands like gossamer
And my limbs now move
Like birds in sky above
A most graceful swimmer

Ah bliss! My journey is unending
yet no longer am I lonely
My totem, you're with me
