Deep down - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Every screaming cry of life dissolves into the night

They all unwind and scatter words until I can’t find

So deep, so deep, where daylight recedes, falling into sleep

Reddened fingers bleed, closing eyes, and I see

As if in fear that won’t fade

Like control that leaves you drowning in a bloody grave

Like a scar that’s only filled up with a bitter rain

All engraved by endless, aching pain

In a herd where all may wander ‘round

Unaware of how they’ll really

End up in the crowd

Another one is lost right now

While I don’t know, I wanna know and understand every woe

The fallen tears I’ve thrown long ago

It doesn’t reach, it’s out of reach, the voice that won’t ever cease

And all the nonsense without a dream

The shadow residing in-between

Has forgotten all it’s lost and what it means

So, how long have you laughed at my grief?

Just tell me, please, I feel you deep, deep, deep, deep down

In a sudden, cold, bitter rain that showered me as I lay

I came awake and whispered words no one would dare say

The blind, the blind illusions I find, leaving them behind

Only reveals the lies and their vague, faint outlines

As if to kneel on both knees

Like a dagger in my heart that’s piercing ever deep

Tearing out and breaking down my every memory

Till I hold my breath and fight and weep

While a fraying, empty kind of hope

Left its mark upon the world

That’s fading, ever slow

I only wanna hold you close

Won’t let you go, I’m letting go, without a cure that I know

There’s still a sign to hold on and hope

No going back, no coming back, the voice that’s fading so fast

With every heartbeat that echoed last

I got what I wanted, though it seems

I was overwhelmed by loss and endless grief

So, how long do I have till I leave?

Just tell me, please, I call you deep, deep, deep, deep

Deep, deep, deep, deep, down
