Starring through the glass
waist deep in quick sand
and turned topsy turby
Forced to swim through the chaos
as my sanity sifts out under me
with one last breath I dive
Sounds and Sights
that once assaulted my senses
Shift to terrifying silence
And thousands of tiny cuts
in this sea of shrapnel
leave me in a new agony
Down I go Deeper still
Burning lungs Begin to plea
That I Simply Swallow
Teary eyed
Goodbye
I start to say
When...
Suddenly I fall through
the floor
and plummet down
Sand now ankle high
the air crystal clear
with a brand new view once more
Here I will live
in momentary relief
waiting to turn upside down...

Starring through the glass
waist deep in quick sand
and turned topsy turby
Forced to swim through the chaos
as my sanity sifts out under me
with one last breath I dive
Sounds and Sights
that once assaulted my senses
Shift to terrifying silence
And thousands of tiny cuts
in this sea of shrapnel
leave me in a new agony
Down I go Deeper still
Burning lungs Begin to plea
That I Simply Swallow
Teary eyed
Goodbye
I start to say
When...
Suddenly I fall through
the floor
and plummet down
Sand now ankle high
the air crystal clear
with a brand new view once more
Here I will live
in momentary relief
waiting to turn upside down...
