Drowning in an Empty Pool...

In the waters
Men can swim
In the hollows
It's all bottom
All drowning

It's rarely sink or swim
It's usually fester or fly

Drowning in an empty pool
Festering like a fool
Waiting for this hole to fill
Wanting for some will

In the ocean
Tides will flow
In the vacancies
Stagnation rules
Stranded or adrift

It's rarely fight or flight
It's usually wait and see

Drowning in an empty well
Below the depth of falling
Pray or try to coax a spell
Forever in here stalling

Swimming in the deeper end
Not just treading water
The option all would recommend
To every son or daughter

Drowning in an empty pool
Deprived of so much air
Fester as a falling fool
Never here nor there

In the river rapids run
In the streams a gentle flow
When all the water's work is done
Where else will you go
