SUBMERGING

See the world in shades of black
See myself in shades of grey
There is no light to guide me on
Are you receiving me?
Shutting the world out silent
Crawl upstairs to oblivion
The only light seems to have fused
Are you receiving me?

I want out
I want deep blue water
To feel the burden drop from my shoulders
I wanna be dissolved
Absolved of all guilt
Pick up my shell and listen
No-one's home, only the ocean

See the world has no colour now
Nothin to give me succour
How was the light for you?
Am I deceiving myself
Viewing the end as a means
A nice try, bye-bye sucker
This is my final signal
Are you receiving?

I want out
I want deep blue water
To feel the burden drop from my shoulders
I wanna be dissolved
Absolved of all guilt
Pick up my shell and listen
No-one's home, only the ocean

Are you receiving me?
Are you receiving me?
Are you receiving me?
Are you receiving me?
Are you receiving me?
Receiving...

See the world from underneath
All beauty is static
Life is death in costume
Death is life play acting
So just one more cup of tea
One more trivial detail
Makin light to counter the fear
You won't receive me

I want out
I want deep blue water
To feel the burden drop from my shoulders
I wanna be dissolved
Absolved of all guilt
Pick up my shell and listen
Nobody's home, only the ocean
