Kill the Seed

Down in the dark
This is where pain grows
To kill the seed
Dive where no one knows

Swim through trenches, 
Wet suit will only slow you down
When you've found the seed
Rush back up to the top
Before your lungs explode

Rushing back take note
Water will be bluer, 
Sky clearer
Sun Peaking
This is the fresh air you've been seeking
