lyrics

Endlessly we've navigated this maelstrom
Sailed our ships onto calmer seas
My convictions return to haunt me
As we are swallowed by a vengeful sea

Desperation makes me claw at the surface
But I know I’ll be forever be adrift
Forcing me down
Pulling me down into a crushing abyss

I can’t endure this hell any longer
To meet my end would be a welcome relief
I can’t endure this hell any longer
To meet my end would be a welcome relief

Your eyes grow wide
As your fear takes hold
And I hear the sirens as they call you
To your new home

Your eyes grow wide
As your fear takes hold
Then I step back and watch
As the endless teeth
Rip the skin from your bones

There’s no turning back now
You've run aground on this reef
We've marooned you alone on this island
Forever damned to wallow in your grief

There’s no turning back now
You've run aground on this reef
We've marooned you alone on this island
Forever damned to wallow in your grief

Your apparition
Returns every night to haunt me in my sleep
The memory of a beautiful nightmare
Or the ghost
Of a terrible dream

Endlessly we've navigated this maelstrom
Sailed our ships onto calmer seas
My convictions return to haunt me
As we are swallowed by a vengeful sea

Desperation makes me claw at the surface
But I know I’ll be forever be adrift
Forcing me down
Pulling me down into a crushing abyss

I can’t endure this hell any longer
To meet my end would be a welcome relief
And as I slip into my endless slumber
I feel the sharks come
Rip the flesh from my fucking bones
