How I Learned To Float

It's been 23…
Years, since they locked me in this iron coffin
And dropped me into the sea
With no hope of return

Now I…
Cannot remember what drove me
Into this place
Well, I hope it was worth it (for me)

I've forgotten my face
And I'm forgetting my own name
Silent waters are deep
And my hopes got drowned in them

Where have all of my dreams gone
Where have all of my dreams gone
Where have all of my dreams gone
Could I please have them back?



The drip-drip-drip-drop of the water
Keeps me awake
And the rap-tap-tap-tap on the glass panes
Haunts me in my sleep
(Short though it may be)

And the static hum of the engine
Makes me stay sane

And the sound of the sonar
Has burned itself into my brain





Help,
I think I lost my head
I don't know where it's gone off to
Could you please help me find it
Again?

Well,
This sure is awkward now
I was happy and content
Before you came into my life

And I
Think I've been here before
This all seems vaguely familiar
But now I cannot remember
Your name


And I know that you're wondering why
It's never easy
And I know that you're wondering how
Well, the answer's quite simple


At the bottom of the Ocean
No-one else can see you cry
Except for the fish
And subaqueous cryptids
That float on by

And at the bottom of the ocean
No-one else can hear your lies
So you just lie to yourself
And write on the walls
That it's alright
(Yeah everything's fine)





Blue Lips
Closed Mouth
Your sweet voice has been sealed

Your skin looks
So waxen
So pale, it's white like snow

A halo
Your blonde hair
It frames your pretty head

Your eyes, they
Look frozen
Steadily that absent stare

And they will all stand by and watch while I smother you


You're see-through
Transparent
I know what's on your mind

You're shallow
Words will
Never hurt a soul again

So fragile
So flimsy
Your wings have been clipped

Your heart-beat
Is fading
Please don't struggle while you slip

And they will all stand by and watch while I smother you


But please don't worry 'bout a thing
Yeah, it'll all be over soon
