[Intro]

I keep my eyes closed

Water fills my lungs

Crushing all hope


[Verse]

40 days I've prayed from the depths

Currents wash away the tears I’ve wept

Slowly crushed beneath this formless weight

Silence drowns the voices that keep me sane

40 nights I’ve prayed from this hell

Currents wash away the blood I’ve shed

Gentle hands wrapped tight around my neck

Darkness shrouds the verity of my pain


[Break]

I've been alone all along

And I’ve nowhere to fall


[Pre-breakdown]

I watch these memories spiral

Out of reach

Out of sight

Out of mind

I’m losing myself


[Verse 2]

Currents wash away the tears I’ve wept

Slowly crushed beneath this formless weight

Silence drowns the voices that keep me sane


[Chorus]

Let the water rise

Swallow me and my demons within

Let the currents wash away all traces of misery


[Outro]

Let me out

Let me out
