Im drowning in the arctic sea Im screaming but no one looks at me The ice takes hold of my bones I never thought I’d die alone Im shivering my eyes to the back of my head Im holding onto life by the hair on a thread The waves bounce me thru blocks of ice Oh Christ! Please let me live this once! As I approach the edge of life I imagine myself dropping the knife And immediately reappear awake this time Staring up at a Black night.
