Norman San Diego was a middle aged man I met who drank himself from hostel to hostel around America trying to escape his demons. Id gotten in a huge fight with those closest to me an hour earlier and before I had a chance to tell my story he told me his. He was the head of a Scuba Diving unit in the US Military who watched his whole team drown two seperate times because of decisions he made to dive in harsh conditions.
lyrics
Oh my fucking god
is my life even close to a failure
well I cant accept this
with everything i know
now you've opened up to me
my scratches heal under your scars
from the depths below
you've arisen the ocean that swallowed
your pure your existence
a struggle for that breath of life
with no reason to get up
just leave them all behind
and I thought I'd seen it all at 23
there'd be nothing new to me
just the same shit life gave me
you've opened every door Norman
just once we live this life
and I cant bear to just get by
How could I survive your fucken enemies
when it takes so much less to defeat me
you showed me life though your barely alive
how could I let this world consume me
the way it destroyed you
this is the end of bitterness
every wasted thought of emptiness
time wont wait for me to find my happiness
what we cannot bear removes us from this life
