Lyrics for Sea of Doubt

One, two, three, four! I'm on the edge of a cliff Gazing into an abyss Weight of it all crushes me, a landslide of anxiety I'm in the forest of my mind, adrift in moonless night Where is the map for the journey? Where are the crewmates who joined me? Borne adrift, a fickle route I'm in a sea of doubt Not again, not again, not again, not again, not again Is this it, is this it, is this it, is this it, is this it? I'm sinking deeper, submerging in the sea of doubt Gotta tread water until I reach the shore and find my way out We scatter the ashes from the singing birds' urn Lingers in the air, then it settles into the earth There's a light at the end of the tunnel It may appear soft and subtle And when you're trying to push up hill The world tends to make you kneel It's a harsh and feeble game Your heart was full and then it sank Breath bubbles to the surface My anchor closed the curtains Here comes the sun to clear the fog Here comes a friend for me to lean on Through the swell and through the cloud We're gonna swim out of the sea of doubt We stand on solid ground We take the time to look around The lightness of the air lifts me, a breeze of serenity We're in the meadow of our minds, basking in its delight One, two, three
