Ocean Calling

Ocean Calling

Words & Music by Jameson Fox, 2021

I remember swimming in the ocean when
Floating free of gravity it came to me
I felt safe and warm
In this void where I belonged
When the world outside was getting me all wrong 
 
The way the waves crashed softly up upon the rocks
Charmed my heart as the wind ushered them ashore
The ocean was my friend
The one I could depend
When the world outside would no longer pretend
 
There, for me when I’m alone
When the sky is falling
The ocean comes calling  
   
I struggle for the meaning of most everything
Lost in endless churning of the thinking in my mind
When I go there on my own
I feel more like a stone
When the world outside has left me all alone 
 
There, for me when I’m alone
When the sky is falling
The ocean comes calling 
            
            Rising tides taking over my life, 
escape is not an option for me
            Everything is splintered, 
I’m orphaned in the storm, 
a refugee in my own head
 
<solo over verse>
 
They thought that every piece of me was calm inside
But under walls I built up was a boiling storm
I wasn’t feeling well
But there was no one to tell
Cause the world outside has left me in this hell
 
There, for me when I’m alone
When the sky is falling
The ocean comes calling 
 
            Rising tides taking over my life, escape is not an option for me
            Everything is splintered, I’m orphaned in the storm, a refugee in my own head
 
There, for me when I’m alone
When the sky is falling
The ocean comes calling 
There, for me when I’m alone
When the sky is falling
The ocean comes calling
