It's been a long time since I took the dive And now I'm so deep in this ocean I thought I was numb beneath the water Yet every breath I take reminds I'm on shore But I can't seem to hold on to anything
I'm floating in these waves with the bones Of all the fish that have died beside me There is nothing left of what I once had I have given too much of myself away To all the people who've I've given the power
Now I lay quietly upon my empty bed Where I'm reminded of how wasted I am Lost in this haze of the death I now know I'm nothing but the ashes of an angel Who gave her wings for the sweet water That never brought the sugar to my life
Now I'm left with this bitter taste in my mouth The smokey flavor of all myself I've burned In the trail I've chosen to hike alone And oh how I long for the days before this When I had all of me and purity in my core But now I must pay the toll for losing me In all of them who had the chance To take a part of every bit of who I was
