V - Oceans

Moving into deep waters / Wading in the dark / Limbs numb / Dim heart / Dim The light in the distance / Last fragments of horizon / Gathered in my eyes / Turned to grey Remaining rays of light fade / Emerge with the ocean for good

“This is not meant to bring you joy. This is not meant to give you any solace. This is the cold, ugly truth of what happens when we put off our rose-tinted glasses, or when they are violently ripped off our noses. May you find peace with this state of mind one day. May you embrace this pain and allow it to make you stronger. May this teach you how to turn this poison into an antidote.” Cold cuts through my fingers / As I drag them over the surface / Punish them as I / Disturb the still waters With one light touch I / Wrinkle all existence / Distort all future / Destroy all quiet / Send waves of confusion Through these waters / Of life / Even the gentlest stroke / Causes harm There's thunder afar / What have I become

I must go back but the soil has swallowed me whole Trapped / Ripping flesh / In desperation / Salty waves / Lick my wounds Icy needles / Sting my skin / Burning eyes / Swollen red Breath / Turn into frigid clouds / Bitter tears / Drown me wide awake I must escape / But the soil / Has swallowed me Whole

Drawn towards the nothing / One we shall become These dark seas now feel almost / Comfortable / I give in May this darkness absorb me

Whispers from far under / Singing from below Lured me into this ocean grave No man strong enough / To brave / This storm Here my remains drift / For everyone to see This wreck / My failure Begone with the ebb
