It seems as if with each breath I take
My lungs fill with cement and my spine is sure to break
My gasps are made of stone and my chest is weighing me down
As I throw myself into the sea, sure enough to drown
With every gulp of air, I am heavier and fall deep
For gravity is my best friend, since my lungs are filled with concrete
And now at the bottom of the ocean, I close my eyes
I've made my grave in the reef, and in my skeleton my tombstone lies
