Overboard - Matthew

Monsters on the shore are getting nearer

Smoke and scream and fire

I don’t remember when infection came into the healer

Voices in my head say it’s now or never

Overboard… let me fall from the death and slumber

Just pretend you’re sailing, safely… throw me overboard

Zombie heads on cold, plastic shoulders

Faces only hide the brooding fear

Overboard… let me fall… to the waters… catch me

Come into me… floating, still… and safer, overboard

We’re all so far away

We lie beneath the stars

No one ever told you… you're free

Overboard… let me fall… from the death and slumber…

Just pretend you’r sailing safely…

Throw me overboard…

Let me fall… to the waters…

Floating, still… and safer…

Overboard
