Submerged Castles

sebastianantioch


I get it, sometimes we’re trapped

In our own dungeons.

Unable to move on from our wounds,

Never being the same.


It all brings us down into the waters.

Nothing ever feels the same,

Everything you do is jaded…


But there’s gotta be something down

Here to lift us up from this depression.

We gotta survive this drought no matter

The day, no matter the pain.


And honestly those don’t can’t even think the same!

They’re all arguing amongst themselves

About being unique.

And I’m sick of pretending to be this warped broken down photocopy.


So come with me to and

Dive through these submerged castles,

These ruins of our broken dreams

Will help us remember what we lost and turn the tides in this war.


No more drowning in despair,

For years I was stuck

Trapped in here.


But now I found a way out,

I just had to go deeper.

Understanding that it’s okay to

Be myself regardless of the fame, regardless of the pain.


I’m telling you it’s okay to not feel okay.

There’s a time and place for crying it out.

And I’ve been there, hurting.

Wishing that somehow I could change time and fix it all.


But maybe if I changed everything that day,

I wouldn’t be okay.

It wasn’t just a mistake in my depressive phase,

I was falling apart and misunderstood regardless.


Maybe if I changed everything

Then I’d be worse off because

I wouldn’t have

Accepted myself!


And this time I’m done living in the past.

So can you too,

No more relying on the pain

To make us feel, now we can be free.


Dive with me

Through these submerged castles

To see the ruins of your broken dreams

And find the hope you need.


We can find a new home

In these submerged castles.

A new dream that can

Help you accept it all.


I won’t lie,

I was jaded and faded out

That day and felt it for a long time.

Unable to rest, unable to see.


I was blind everyday to

What I had and what I needed.

But now I see clearly that I’m

Awake and alive.


I lost everything that day.

Yeah, it was painful

But look where I’m at!


I made it out and here I am in this

Submerged castle, living

My days not in regret but

In hope that I can make a place for myself to belong.


This place will be our home.

This will be where hope is

Born anew.


No more living in fear,

No more living like

I’m dead!

This place is forever our home! Come and try to take it!


I’m finally free,

This ocean has

Resurrected me.


For years they all

Left me broken and alone

But in these submerged castles

We find a new home!
