I can tell you it's coming, and that it's on its way. I can tell you it's coming, and that it's far too late. It's lurking behind you. It's just around the bend. It's the only thing that will be there in the end.
Nothing you can do will stop what has begun. And there is nothing I can say that will change what I have done. Now there is a price, and it must be paid. For all of my trespasses, and the mistakes that I have made.
Drowning in the ocean. Swimming in the tears. Dead to all emotion. Feeding on your fears. Everything is rotten. The filth of my decay. Down here at the bottom is where I choose to stay.
And I don't recognize any face around me. All those shifting shades seem so convincing. They took me by the hand ever so gently and led me straight to hell, what was left of me. Now that I've hit rock bottom it's almost comforting, that I cannot fall further inside of me. Those that do look down from up above, they all stare in awe at the broken one.
Drowning in the ocean. Swimming in the tears. Dead to all emotion. Feeding on your fears. Everything is rotten. The filth of my decay. Down here at the bottom is where I choose to stay.
