Sorrow swims the surface of a vast black sea


Sedated, cast under a blanket of disoriented sleep

A state of rest, artificial tranquility


Dark waves crash upon heavy eyes,

Restraint lies in repose



The initial incision, the apex of arrival

A warping of perception, the thinning of the blood

Though your wires cut me deep I do not flee


When I struggle to escape, you only cut me deeper

(Chorus)

I pour myself into you like a twisted communion


So we lie together in putrid revelry

a darkened eden, my place of paradise

Still, we pour ourselves into you like a twisted communion

Cognitive dissonance (x2)

This vast black sea swallows the sedated masses

Bruised minds tangled in wires of the temporal

Instill the shame, the cycle repeats
