Awaiting the moment to take my last breath.
Breathing in the water to quicken my death.
How did we end up here?Bouts of suffering?
Do we seem to belong here amongst the angry sea?
Come forth!
Ravenous!
Tear me apart!
May I feed your urges!
As lungs collapse!
The tides arise!
As I lapse beneath the weight of my own demise!
The weight of life lightens fast.
All my strife becomes my past.
Come forth!
Ravenous!
Tear me apart!
Leave no memories!
As lungs collapse!
The tides arise!
As I lapse I close my eyes!
Dreams collide.
At once I knew I had no relevance to that life.
I slipped into the atmosphere.
Devoid of color. Devoid of fear. Devoid of mind.
He sunk, he fell, deep down to the bottom.
He sunk, he fell, deep down to the bottom.
He sunk deep down, all the way to the bottom.
He sunk deep down, all the way to the bottom.
