Take me away beneath the bitter sea
and save me from the storm
where on our sunken ship
we'll wait out the winter
Save me from this monster I've become
this foul, unearthly beast
with blackened heart
and withered mind
who braved these empty streets
and wanders aimlessly inside
I'm sinking
      
               sinking

                               sinking

Trying to decipher what I know
to be true or to be false
taking comfort in my sorrow
loneliness
gives time to dwell on this
this foul, unearthly beast
with blackened heart
and withered mind
who braved these empty streets
and wanders aimlessly inside
and I'm sinking

                         sinking

                                                  sinkin­g.
Song II
Am, Cmaj, Em, Gmaj (Dmaj)

And I knew
I knew it was autumn
cause as the leaves fell
so did I
oh
so did I.
Starting of song III
Gmaj, Em, Asus, Dmaj

Insecurity,
the greatest foe
comes quickly with it's harshest blow
seeps into the mind
destroys the soul
questioning
criticizing
corrupting
slowly starts to eat away
that sense of self
that once did stay
it needs to stop
this internal pain
but, it's too strong
so what's the use?
with a sick desire for self-abuse
it's too strong
and so it wins
the brush is the blade
the canvas the skin

now it's started
really stared
that sense of self has truly parted
a new self image has overtaken
and thwarted the mind
so visibly shaken
it slowly starts to build a fence
an inland battle
does then commence
The first song I've ever written

— The End —
