My breath is playing games with me
I wonder what it's like to see
After being here for all these years
Not being able to shed a tear
I live in the nameless abyss of darkness
A cold blooded creature who misses you
I smiled as I descended down here
Sand as my bed, and burden as my sheets
Gasping for nonexistent air to eat
My gloopy soggy lungs won't mind
Visiting? Why, that's ever so kind
But you don't wanna be down here
They bite, and there's no light
There's frights in the night
But, that's quite alright
It's fine if deserved
For the monster I am
I'll accept my fate
Hope you can't relate
Just let me suffocate
In this abyss that I await
It's hard to observe
So I let my body in curve
Fingers getting wrinkled
As my tongue goes numb
Need to find a way out before I succumb
Not a coin down here, not even a penny
For you'd be the real gem, you'd be worth many
But it's sad down here
Dead bodies and fish pee
It's really not so heavenly
For someone like you
This the opposite of where you should be
I'll make it out someday you'll see
Ocean heart'll be filled with ecstasy
