My escape I cannot find
running wild my restless mind.
Screaming heart, faded spirit
I close my ears, but I still hear it.

Flooding fear, I’m holding tight.
The end draws near, but where’s the light?

On my knees I search for strength,
my will is weak, my eyes are strained.
Now barely breathing, embers die
heavy sighs and helpless cries.

Water now up to my knees,
What hope is left begins to freeze.

Tightened chest, gasping breath
panic peaks, impending death.
Closing eyes, this is it,
If it happens, I won't see it.
Final thoughts, last regrets,
If I, could have ... left to rest.

Darkness weighs until I break,
No body left, my soul to take.
My former life, losing shape,
Yet here I am,
my escape?
