steady yourself and hold on

drowning silently in waters

how farther can i go now?

the cuts of my faces, traces of patterns

all glowing when i look in the mirror

reflection grins back at my horrid-looking face,

the monsters clawing in my bed,

they say I'll never reach the surface,

stay on the waters, why even bother?

fingertips slipping away,

i called your name but you didn't look anyway

waves are crashing into me

can't breathe, i wish this was all a dream

how many times do i have to crawl

until i reached at the end of it all?

the wounds and scars, they showed you how far

carved on my skin, kick your legs and say goodbye

sleep now tight, wish a goodnight

into the waters where all hearts die
