The air is thick,
We're breathing failure just like oxygen
Bled out, confused,
Weaving webs of lies to stay alive

If we could just slow down,
Ceasing footprints and follies,
Catch up with ourselves before we catch ourselves crawling

We are our own executioners,
Pleading mercy with no reply
The mirror our judge and jury,
Holding axes and shackles with heartless eyes

What have I done?
What have I become?
What have I done?
What have I become?

It seems we're on our own holding the gavel, not the key
The flood is rising, I know we won't survive if we don't let go

What have I done?
What have I become?
Who am I?
Who am I?

I feel the waves wash over me
I'm overcome, collapsed
My ship, rock bound, helpless to the raging seas

A miracle and nothing less could save me from this fate
Overboard, the water casket greets with open arms
Overboard, the water casket greets with open arms
Gravity preventing escape

Plunging deeper, darker, arm outstretched
Screaming "SAVE ME!"
No reply
Plunging deeper, darker, arm outstretched
Screaming "SAVE ME!"
Screaming "SAVE ME!"

The ocean drinks my tears, hope is fading with consciousness
My nightmares snatch the breath from me,
And push all hope just out of reach
The tides will claim my life,
My pleas for help dashed in the strife
My nightmares snatch the breath from me,
And push all hope just out of reach
