Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Floating on mist
Crept up the caverns of my brain
Received no warning
From nothing to a life code
[Verse 2]
Walk with me, you'll never leave
Wait to see your spirit free
Tell me how your heart's in need
As I drown you in the sea
[Verse 3]
Unwinding snares of disgust
Your wrist in my fast grip
Look me in the eye, I'm clear
This is your time
Face down beneath the waterline
Gazing into the deep
[Verse 4]
From love to death in a timespan of seconds
Oblivious to regret, pushed into belief
In liquid cellophane, gasping for air
Mercy in my eyes is the shade of the night
Facedown beneath the waterline
Gazing into the deep
[Verse 5]
The piercing sounds you make
Soaring higher, higher now
And once left in my wake
Your memory's nothing but the scars on me
[Verse 6]
All over now, forgotten why I needed this
Standing down, disappear into the obscure
Resting days, waiting for new disease
Biding time, locked inside, insanity
[Verse 7]
It always burns within
The downward spiral never ends
When driven into sin
Your salvation's found in a sinner's deed
[Verse 8]
All over now, forgotten why I needed this
Standing down, disappear into the obscure
Resting days, waiting for new disease
Biding time, locked inside, insanity
[Verse 9]
Devil the guides the way
Tells me what to say
Pours himself inside
Snuffs the final light
[Verse 10]
Deliverance...
Thrown back at me
Deliverance...
Laughing at me
[Verse 11]
Deliverance...
Thrown back at me
Deliverance...
Laughing at me
