Unfound Manifest

Today I saw another photograph
Worse than the last and I just couldn’t back off
I mouthed the name, ashamed what I’d discovered

Tears in my eyes I had to look away
Things just dissolve day by day
In an ocean of pain, pulling the weary under

Sinking in the dark water
Fighting back against the tide
Can’t hold on much longer
When the salt begins to rise

The trawlers lonely that dredge the sea
Have more in their nets than gilt-head bream
Undertow

And below the waves they rest
A wooden ship from tripoli
With an unfound manifest

I'm in my head and I'm feeling false
But in my little way I'm mourning the loss
Half a world away, I get back under the covers

Time outside is moving slow
When I'm going down I'm diving solo
I just can’t explain how the sky loses its color

Just say a name (a name)
Just say the words to me
I’ll break down, I'm trying desperately
To find something here to redeem
Is it my mind or just everyday tragedy
