The waves sang the same siren song that had lulled me to sleep as a child
and I swore that this time I fathomed them
I tasted the subtle warmth of the salt in the air
And I let the openness of the water trick me into thinking I could grasp her
But as the grey of dusk fell away into night
the dark of the sea stopped revealing the secrets of her depths
It was then that I learned the truth
We never stop fearing the unknown
