Cold Water |
Twisting through contorted limb |
Sober now from distant whim |
Batten down the hatches |
The storm approaches, the thunder crashes |
It cannot wait |
It must be now |
A shot’s been fired across the bow |
What presence here has been proclaimed? |
What once was unspoken is finally named |
So this is sinking, or so it seems |
Diving fathoms in lucid dreams |
With lungs now aching, begging for air |
And only cold water answers |
With a cinder block anchor, hope turns to despair |
Ripped from the womb and left to the ocean’s care |
Cold (Cold water!) |
Cold (Cold water!) |
So sink, let go, slip into the depths |
Let the pieces of a wasted life slip past the fingertips |
Rejoice, exult, a fitting conclusion to a melancholy myth |
A grave at sea, an absentee, whose presence won’t be missed |
(So this is sinking, or so it seems |
Diving fathoms in lucid dreams |
With lungs now aching, begging for air |
And only cold water answers) |
Twisting through contorted limb |
Sober now from distant whim |
Batten down the hatches |
The storm approaches, the thunder crashes |
It cannot wait |
It must be now |
A shot’s been fired across the bow |
(Picking at the bones that came to rest on the ocean bed |
Whose subtle pose tells a tale of those that sink like lead |
Summon the ire left hanging in moments that swings by the neck to and fro |
Assured by the light that there’s one way to go) |
So this is sinking, or so it seems |
Diving fathoms in lucid dreams |
With lungs now aching, begging for air |
And only cold water answers |
With a cinder block anchor, hope turns to despair |
Ripped from the womb and left to the ocean’s care |
Cold |
(Cold water) |
Cold |
(Cold) |
(Picking at the bones that came to rest on the ocean bed |
Whose subtle pose tells a tale of those that sink like lead |
Summon the ire left hanging in moments that swings by the neck to and fro |
Assured by the light that there’s one way to go) |
Picking at the fucking bones that came to rest on the ocean bed |
Whose subtle pose tells a tale of those that sink like lead |
(Sink like lead) |
Death is callous, strange, and sudden |
A pious, indignant glutton |
Whose hands are soft, warm, and inviting |
