Thrash in a violent vortex
How can I
Think? How can I tread?
When all I do is sink
Into the hostile abyss
Weighing down
Crushing depths are
Mocking, taunting me
Coarse salt grates my eyes
Frigid water invades my lungs
Grasping for control, gasping for air
I lose all strength
I lose all hope as I fall
Down into the endless pit
Of raging doubt
Suffocating despair
Shrouding the way out
Current rips apart
The will to live
Cruel tides drag
Downards, smother me
Coarse salt grates my eyes
Frigid water invades my lungs
Grasping for control, gasping for air
I lose all strength
I lose all hope as I fall
This riptide swallows me
This swirl engulfs me
This current carries me
Against my will
Into my icy tomb
Will I grant myself the mercy of hope?
Let go
Against the instinct, senses, and will
Let go
The mind-forged manacles shaping the self
Let go
Torn by the struggle, held by resolve
Let go
I heed the call, I let it go
