In the clear darkness, I'm alone
Only light there is are my memories.

My body only knows the coldness
In the trench, there is only death.
But I'm still alive
With my heart moving slowly.

The ocean goes away and separates me from my dreams
Leaving me in this cruel world.
When I wanted to remember the past
I feel a pain in my head that makes me cry.

I only want to know how to swim
And be able to save myself from this darkness.
Because I know nobody is going to come and get me
I wonder if I ever really mattered.

Suicidal thoughts let me sink
Touching the caliph at the bottom of the sea.
But the water does not suffocate me
My conviction holds my breath.

The surface of the sea is above me
Beaches outside of my reach.
I can not even stretch my hands in hope
They break with the pressure of my mistakes.

The hell of the sea is the only heat
Embracing me like a lost love.
Warming me up strongly
Making me turn into glass.

Soon the ocean will release and leave me
And creatures will come around me to eat.
What I have left of me became sand
I have no hope of being able to return to the past.
