lyrics

i play a minor character
in the movie of my life

and i read from a script
cuz i don't know my lines

and i move with the tide
such is the state of my mind
soon the water envelopes my face

and as i sink beneath
i feel no need to breathe
as i sink beneath
i feel no need to breathe

adolescent insurgency
adulthood in infancy
learning to love again

wandering lustily
a global catastrophe
learning to speak again

a grim reaper's empathy
compassion in entropy
lost in the sea again

stillness intensity
to see right in front of me
learning to breathe again

canals forming passageways
abstractions in alleyways
learning to think again

conciousness wavering
fragments of data
lost in the stream again

floating of driftwood
the waves crashing over
waiting to see you again

and as i sink beneath
i feel no need to breath
as i sink beneath
i feel no need to breatheeee

gwaaaaaah!!
