i don't want a lot of recognition
i just want you to know who i am
do what it takes to find my place
to prove i'm more than just a man
i will travel to the ends of the earth
to the deepest of depths hoping someday
i can see
your bright and smiling face again
it now begins
nothing will stand in my way
the ship drops and the engine roars
rotors spinning through the murky depths
pale creatures pass the window ports
captivated and obsessed
the pressure builds outside
the darkness swallows the light
i feel the warmth of a passing glance
from the bottom of the sea
and maybe
i can breathe down here
sounds of laughter pull me closer
as my eyes begin to burn
in this blackness, full of nowhere,
past the point of no return,
i'm alive
i can't speak to you anymore
since the doctors took your voice
but i thought i heard you laughing now
a baby's voice swims all around me
don't believe what the people say
i can't just change my mind
i know that you're out there crying
i know
sounds of laughter pull me closer
as my eyes begin to burn
in this blackness, full of nowhere,
past the point of no return,
i'm alive
sounds of laughter pull me closer
as my eyes begin to burn
in this blackness, full of nowhere,
past the point of no return,
i'm alive.
these dirty bedsheets,
torn up and yellowed.
my face in the pillow,
s u f f o c a t e d.
