Paroles Floating Michael Schulte

Floating

I left my name in the river
Where the water pulls me down
I've been floating through the silence
With no solid ground

Every step feels borrowed
Every breath feels used
The sky is falling slowly
In shades of blue

And I don't know if I'm running
Or just standing still
The current knows my secrets
But never will

I'm floating, floating
Through an ocean wide
Blue turns darker every time I try

I'm calling, calling
But the sound is gone
The river keeps on pulling me along

There's a light on the horizon
But it flickers when I stare
All these words I never said are heavy in the air

My hands are cold and shaking
From holding on too long
I built a home in the echo of a half-forgotten song

If I let go of the shoreline, will I finally breathe
Or will the dark water make a ghost of me?

I'm floating, floating
Through an ocean wide
Blue turns darker every time I try

I'm calling, calling
But the sound is gone
The river keeps on pulling me along

I'm floating, floating
I'm floating, floating

Dark water, don't be gentle
I'm already broken in
If I sink into the silence
Let if end where I begin

I'm floating, floating
No way back tonight
The ocean's breathing in blue and white

I'm falling, falling
But it feels like home
The river keeps on pulling me alone

I'm falling, falling
In the river
I'm falling, falling
I let go

I'm floating, floating
In the dark-blue ocean I dissolve
