[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

Floating on mist

Crept up the caverns of my brain

Received no warning

From nothing to a life code


[Verse 2]

Walk with me

You'll never leave

Wait to see your spirit free

Tell me how your heart's in need

As I drown you in the sea


[Verse 3]

Unwinding snares of distrust

Your wrist in my fast grip

Look me in the eye

I'm clear

This is your time

Face down beneath the waterline

Gazing into the deep


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 4]

From love to death

In a time span of seconds

Oblivious to regret

Pushed into belief

In liquid cellophane

Gasping for air

Mercy in my eyes

Is the shade of the night

Face down beneath the waterline

Gazing into the deep


[Pre-Chorus]

The piercing sounds you make

Soaring higher, higher now

And once left in my wake

Your memory is nothing but the scars on me


[Chorus]

All over now

Forgotten why I needed this

Standing down

Disappear into the obscure

Resting days

Waiting for new disease

Biding time

Locked inside insanity


[Pre-Chorus]

It always burns within

The downward spiral never ends

When driven into sin

Your salvation's found in a sinner's deed


[Chorus]

All over now

Forgotten why I needed this

Standing down

Disappear into the obscure

Resting days

Waiting for new disease

Biding time

Locked inside insanity


[Bridge]

The devil guides the way

Tells me what to say

Pours himself inside

And snuffs the final light


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 5]

Deliverance

Thrown back at me

Deliverance

Laughing at me

Deliverance

Thrown back at me

Deliverance

Laughing at me


[Instrumental Outro]
