it takes me under
Far from the shore
safety reaches me no more
I can’t breathe

They’re in control
testing me to see if I over flow
they`re polluting me
I can`t breathe

Darkness descends
monsters hide from the light
I can`t even trust my own sight
I can`t breathe

I tug and pull against the chains
that suffocate my remains
I tug and pull with all my might
but I just can`t seem to find the light
I can’t breathe save me
