Wake today to the sun, how did I earn the light?
Each ray dismayed to waste, each second a lie
Tonight’s the time for I to wash away, against the feeble tides bruised in dismay
Emotions swell, a surge comes forth to quell, uphold the rings to my death knell
Lighting fires aloud, atrophy from my cloud
Tearing out your world, in fragmentizing quarrels
Your heads harrowed low, I remember, the times of which we used to splendor
You’ve all traveled much too far, we always seem to encounter my harm
Years pass and still in lunacy
No changes in life mold the signs
The burden bubbles underneath
Your medicine could never cure
Those around try to pull closer, I push away indifferent, colder
The deeper you dive, darker it gets, drowning in this cerebral cesspit
Cease being the sea shrill of misery, cease being a seeker of reason
Cease being the sea shrill of misery, cease being a seeker of reason
Let go of life and set you all free
I’ve inflicted enough damage in this life, this pallid inflection of my misspent time
Still brooding inside my shell of cowardice, fantasizing of death to be at rest
Breathing slowly and silently, breathe it in
Bleeding slowly and silently, keep it in
Translucent skin starts to burn true
This desperate hopelessness is shown
Deafening silence fills the room
I grab the tools and wait for the tide
Cease being the sea shrill of misery, cease being a seeker of reason
Cease being the sea shrill of misery, cease being a seeker of reason
Let go of life and set you all free
“Don’t worry, I’ll go alone and quietly
There is no need for drama, just a need to be free
Escape, run away, or sit and witness a death”
A final warning with my pitiful breath
