Down Down Deeper and Down
Treading water, standing still..
Fighting with the current's.
I'm drowning in the water..
I' grasping for some air..
Hold your breath and wait a minute..
They're surely be some help..
But deeper still I sink..
So far out of my depth..
The surface seems so far away..
There's darkness all around..
The silence is so frightening.
And I cannot hear a sound.
I'm heading for the bottom to join the other
wreck's..
Laying down below a coldness fills the air..
My soul is drifting from my soul and floating to the
Surface.
I take my final breath and settle on the seabed..
