You pushed me out to sea today
And hoped to watch me drown
All i had was my baggage
You thought it'd weigh me down
And as i drifted out
I floated out until the raft was sinking
I gasped for air
I coughed salt water
I couldn't help but drink in
I jumped ship; you couldn't see me.
You thought i'd breathed my last
I started swimming towards the shore
From which i had been cast
I struggled back until
You were sure that i would die
But i found a strength, a will, a hate
I couldn't pacify
So i made it back
I fought back, was almost to your shore
You had something in your hands for me
A braided crown of thorns
Then i turned around
I swam away, never to look back
I'm no more the fool
Who would die and know a salt sack
