As the freezing water fills my hopeless lungs
I am reminded of its darkness once again
My burning heart steams from the cold edge of the knife
I gasp for air that is far beyond my reach and sight
Beneath the water where the sun don't shine
My helpless body sinks deeper and deeper slowly
And my eyelids close with fear and pain slowly
Slowly, unlike when I fell in love.

As the freezing water fills my hopeless lungs
I am reminded of its darkness once again
My burning heart steams from the cold edge of the knife
I gasp for air that is far beyond my reach and sight
Beneath the water where the sun don't shine
My helpless body sinks deeper and deeper slowly
And my eyelids close with fear and pain slowly
Slowly, unlike when I fell in love.
