The one go down is alive

It is part of my plight

The one inside makes a sign

And keeps an eye to the light, yeah

I sense panic overboard

Obscure, viscid sprawling fog

I hear a sonar rumour

That says I'm far from the shore

How I am stricken with non-emotion

It crawls up above periscopic cognition

Where it strives to dwell in abnormal contortion

I navigate in my maze

Investigate

To be safe safe safe safe

Across the ocean of sheer compromise

There is no matrix, not even a guide

The last wave of sanity

Rolls over my frequency

Skyline under water field

The depths above the high seas

How I am stricken with non-emotion

It crawls up above periscopic cognition

Where it strives to dwell in abnormal contortion

I navigate in my maze

Investigate

To be safe safe safe safe

Across the ocean of sheer compromise

There is no matrix, not even a guide

A twilight house keeper dim-on, dim-off now

A concrete cyclops blinking down his dull eye

Does this code signal something somewhere somehow?

Why me? It goes on and on and on

Please, no

No


[Guitar Solo]

Too late for S.O.S

Mute island, fish-eye view circling the border line

No resource, no rescue, stranded, I'm otherwise

The error is perfect like this sub-effect of my kind

My mind, my mind

The one so down is alive

It is a part of my plight

The one inside makes a sign

And keeps an eye to the light

To the light
