Lyrics
Smother me, choke my persistence
Feeling overwhelmed and restricted, a desire for liberation
underneath the surface cold
Beneath the outward calmness, there is a cold, hidden reality
and in my mind there's no resistance
Mentally, there is no opposition or rebellion
No defence, there's no stronghold
No protection or secure position to rely on
I gaze into deceiving mirrors
Reflecting on deceptive images that are harsh and cold
they stare back hard, so vile and cold
Mirrors showing a harsh and unpleasant truth
Within their grasp, hangs my submission
Submission is within the control of these deceptive images
They cling on tight, they won't let go
Resistance is futile as these images have a strong hold
I can't take no more
Reaching a point of unbearable stress or pain
Hold on to me, I'm led adrift in deceitful seas
Being led astray in a sea of deception
my limbs turn numb as the waves subdue me
Numbing effects of deception, losing control
Can't breathe, I can't breathe
Expressing difficulty in breathing, feeling suffocated
I'm at the mercy of the vile and deep blue sea
Vulnerability to the harsh and deep challenges of life
Can't breathe
Continued struggle with breathing, intensifying the ordeal
Eventually I lost my grip
Gradual loss of control and stability
and through my hands this life slipped
Life slipping away despite efforts to hold on
Although it felt, like it was long gone
Despite feeling distant, the past still lingers
No future there, for this life undone
No hope for the future in this deteriorating life
I can't carry on
Feeling unable to continue or endure
Let go of me, I'm led adrift in deceitful seas
Being led astray again in a sea of deceit
my limbs turned numb as the waves subdued me
Numbing effects persist, losing sensation
Couldn't breathe, I could not breathe
Reiterating the struggle to breathe, intensifying desperation
Drowned in the arms of the vile and deep blue sea
Metaphorical drowning in the challenges of life
