Go Wild - Friedberg I Can Swim Without You Pulsing rhythm rains warm on this bright ocean. Heaven-rhythm repeats, penetrates solemn dark. Where I submerged, swum this unknowable sea, unexplored to you, fathomed in dreams by me. I hear your anthem, begging, come ashore. Your verses I deny, because here I sleep. In this ocean, I can breathe in the deep. Learned to hold my breath this long, since you came along, implored I seek your love. I can swim the deepest ocean, see no need of your oarboat, able arms to lift me out. This aquatic dream I realized, when dumped over the side of a vessel like yours, trolling. This is for the ignorant likes of helpless me who learned to swim against waves I've struggled -- against the land's greed and complacency. I would have strolled those golden sands, inhaled frozen Kool-Aid, infused and fermented. I can swim this deep, deep blue, huddle amid lost dolphins, communicate to bluer whales in languages learned -- languages you refuse understand, sitting far off on your idle sand.
