Drowning Beneath the Surface

Fallen from the depths of my own despair
Caught in the current of destruction
My path has caught me
I have destroyed what lays ahead
The ocean has drowned me in a deep blackened sorrow
Trapped beneath the surface
Giving up is my only choice
I no longer have the breath in my own voice
Lost in a world where the lights have faded away
Letting go rather I never wished to stay
Stepping on the rocks that dig into thy feet
Where the world within me falls asleep
