"It doesn't matter if it's in the sea or just a tub,
Because by the time I'm through with it I'll finally be done.
To stick around is but a mortal's torture in disguise,
But me, yes I, would love to find that hidden paradise.

Yes, all the times that I have walked among the living here,
I've felt alone with nothing left but thoughts of dread and fear.
But I know that if I go I'll finally be free,
To wander the world forevermore in that land beneath the sea.

So as the water fills my lungs and I begin to gasp for air,
I think to myself it will be worth it after all of the hurt and despair.
And I know that I will wake up in a place that's welcoming and nice,
As I drown myself and and hope to find
My underwater Paradise."
