Bound to an oceanbed of looming demise
Clawing at the sands of ever escaping time
In the darkened depths, your desperation's malign
Is keeping your eyes deceivedly blind
But still the hourglass turns
Tipping the sands
Time comes to stand
Anxiety becomes yearn
Turning your eyes
Return to the sky
And see the surface's benign hand
Is reaching down
But will you take it
Grasping for light
The illuminate sky
Penetrating the night that is over-encompassing
Loosing the sands
That cemented in place
My temporal essence
I begin my resurfacing
Yet from the depths
Trails a shadow, outstretched
With malicious intent
To infect with dubiety
Cresting the break
An ambition awakes
To dismantle, remake
What the depths made me
I will
I will break free
Break free
Free from the
Shadows binding me
Blinding me
I will
I will break down
Down to
Dismantle and rebuild
Dismantling me
Open my eyes to see the sky
Open my eyes to see I've died
The albatross clenches its claws around my throat
I've withered away at the bed of the sea and watched as my future choked
Open my eyes just to realise I've died
Inside
My mind
Too blind to recognise
Benighted
Sight
Denied to life; my
Vitality's slipping away from me
Withered away beneath the sea
The sands turn skyward - I'm released
Yet now I've forlorn piety
Upon the shores I start to breathe
But still the albatross seethes
Open my eyes just to realise I've died
I will
I will break free
Break free
Free from the
Shadows binding me
Blinding me
I will
I will break down
Down to
Dismantle and rebuild
Dismantled
Upon the shores I breathe
