In the depths [June 26, 2015]

This deep sinking feeling

It takes root in my essence

Below the surface, far from home

I feel alone without your presence

 

In this dark abyss I lie

Like a cocoon wrapped in silk

So familiar, without pride

In the depths I do hide

 

So cold and all alone

In the depths I’m on my own

Without a conscious, without a soul

I fall deeper in this hole

 

The water closes in around me

And now I feel the anger of the sea

It crushes me, steals my breath

Closer and closer I come to death

 

Fighting back with all my might

I push at the sea in the night

Dark, black, blood wine

On my blood the water must dine

 

Rock bottom I hit the floor

And now I found what I stand for

I crouch in the depths, with all my might

I push off the ground, ready for a fight

 

I broke the cocoon and grew my wings

Alone and dark in the depths I became

Something more, something less

Here and now I must confess

 

I have sinned, I have done wrong

I have killed, to become strong

This watery grave exists in us all

Secrets, lies, you too must fall

In the Depths
