There's nothing here for me now, nothing at all. Now I remember, this happened to me before, this is why I left. You have begun to find your answers.

A confused boy asked a man,
Where oh where did you learn to swim?
The man said unto him,
Always I have known how.
Then the confused boy started to cry.
He said “I’ve always known how to fly,
But swimming I can’t, I’m sure I would die”
