lyrics

Beneath the surface
I float, adrift
The water overwhelming me
It spills its endless riddles and rhymes
As I try desperately to breathe

Please help me
they are floating above
I’m so god damn scared
No escape
from the shadow

The sweet relief
I no longer feel
And the memories
fade away

And the bright beams they dance
through the ripples
As I cling to branches and willows
But heavy are my clothes, my mind
The weeping brook
in dreams will I succumb?

Please help me
they are floating above
I’m so god damn scared
No escape
from the shadow

The sweet relief
I no longer feel
And the memories
fade away

Sink down
as the curtain drops
Is this the final act?

Weightless
draped in red
Feeling the air
disappear

Light comes flashing
through the sea
The helping hand
reaches down..

Pulling me up
Pulling me out
To my dreams
I won’t succumb
