So came the day I figured out

That the last teardrop had dried in my throat

I could not deal with rage anymore

I could not rinse the lies that wasted my heart

What you spoiled is lost forever

Who you drowned now drifts forever

Sinking

Drowning

I left your delusions on the shore

Without a single bitter look behind

Pulled all my love out like a slough

Said ‘adieu’ to hostile terra firma

What you spoiled is lost forever

Who you drowned now drifts forever

As I sink

Deeper

And deeper

The current flows

Stronger

And stronger

(Deeper)

(Stronger)

But I feel fine

For the first time in my life

As nitrogen narcosis

Casts a cold smile on my face

Yeah I feel fine

Dead drunk in a liquid dream

Rehydrated, so quiet :

I don’t fear death anymore

I don’t fear its depths

I don’t fear its blue

I don’t fear its waves

I don’t fear

Death

I reach the bottom of the sea

Infinite land of gloom and silence

Between tyrian purple candelabra

Fearsome shadows of rusted wrecks

Ivory shells shimmer

Under a dreary shroud of silt

Misshapen beings quiver

And constrict me

As water fills my lungs

Sinking

Drowning

Half-covered with slimy seaweed

My bones are merged with sharp coral reef

I’d like to spell some human words

But moray eels ripped my mouth into strips

My dislocated jaws seem to sing:

‘What you spoiled is lost forever

Who you drowned now drifts forever’

As I sink

Deeper

And deeper

The current flows

Stronger

And stronger
