lyrics

drowning in a school
of fish
bubbles slowly rise
the sun begins to
fade as we dive
deeper,
deeper into the
depths of tumbling
anxiousness,
moving into the
unknown darkness.

the pressure grows
and the oxygen
lessens as it is
squeezed from my
lungs.

trying to swim to
the surface, the
sky above, hoping
for the last remaining
light before all is
lost.

encased in my skin
lungs protected from
the water,
(for now) begin to
burn, its final resort
before the end -
arms thrash and
legs kick trying
to escape.
the fire burns out.

curl up in a ball
and sink,
smothered by
water and fish.

the last bubble bursts;
no more to sail
across the sea.
