Beneath the Waves

No!

Eyes open, I look around and see that I'm surrounded
Endless water and blackness in all directions
Pulling me, twisting me, I can't fight to stay above
I can't swim, deep within, pulled away from who I was!

And I can feel the water overtaking my mind

I'm drowning in anger, I'm trapped beneath the waves
Submerging, conforming, I can't go out this way!

Eyes open as all my wrongdoings flash through my mind
The water and the memories are all burning my sight
I'm losing control, lungs are full, please no, I cannot die alone
So unstable, inside I know I still have wrongdoings left to atone

(The voices, they tell me, to just give up in here)
I can't defeat myself and they are getting louder

I'm drowning in anger, I'm trapped beneath the waves
Submerging, conforming, I can't go out this way!
It's not my time yet, I fight to stay alive
This rage; this demon, by it I won't be confined!

(I can't breathe)
Oh God, let me out!

(Listen to this inner voice, gain control of yourself
From inside this cage of ice, you start to thaw yourself out
And as you rise towards the surface, the light's within reach...)

No!
Listen to this inner voice, gain control of yourself
From inside this cage of ice, you start to thaw yourself out (x2)

(It's not my time yet, I fight to stay alive
This rage; this demon, by it I won't be confined!)
