Lyrics

Floating on mist  
Crept up the caverns of my brain  
Received no warning  
From nothing to a life code  
  
Walk with me, you'll never leave  
Wait to see your spirit free  
Tell me how your heart's in need  
As I drown you in the sea  
  
Unwinding snares of distrust  
Your wrist in my fast grip  
Look me in the eye, I'm clear  
This is your time  
  
Face down beneath the waterline  
Gazing into the deep  
  
From love to death  
In a time span of seconds  
Oblivious to regret  
Pushed into belief  
In liquid cellophane  
Gasping for air  
Mercy in my eyes  
Is the shade of the night  
  
The piercing sounds you make  
Soaring higher, higher now  
And once left in my wake  
Your memory's nothing but the scars on me  
  
All over now  
Forgotten why I needed this  
Standing down  
Disappear into the obscure  
Resting days  
Waiting for new disease  
Biding time  
Locked inside insanity  
  
It always burns within  
The downward spiral never ends  
When driven into sin  
Your salvation's found in a sinners deed  
  
The devil guides the way  
Tells me what to say  
Pours himself inside  
And snuffs the final light  
  
Deliverance  
Thrown back at me  
Deliverance  
Laughing at me
