lyrics

DEAD WEIGHT

I plunge into a liquid state, shocking warm soft tissued flesh,
feeling cold splash over dry skin, purging lungs of surface breath.

In Atmospheric silence the pressure builds up in my ears.
My buoyancy is negative, I must achieve equilibrium!

Oxygen depleting, having trouble breathing,
anywhere there’s feeling there’s only pain.
I try not to panic as panic clearly sets in.
The more I squirm, the more I’m sinking.

Limbs stir up grey silt and seaweed.
I’m pressed against the mud and the ooze.
Is my fate is to descend into this cold murky colourless void?

Whatever my life is or was it escapes me now.
It cares not for karma or faith. It just wants me to drown!

Oxygen depleted, nitrogen exceeded,
senses are impeded from narcosis.
A catatonic state, a body of dead weight,
forever lost into the abyss.
Slimy creatures swarm, attracted to my warmth,
latching on in hoards, bottom feeding.
Surrounding me like flies, and biting at my sides,
They won’t wait for you to die before they eat you!

Sink into an unconscious state,
the body void of warmth, blood and flesh.
Paralysis of touch and sight as lungs succumb to liquid breath.

I hallucinate that my whole life consists of this illusion
where I’m just a brain in a vat somewhere
being observed by god-like aliens.
Perhaps I’m just some experiment meant to test free will,
as they tabulate the cruelty I inflict
on the other Earth dwelling souls!

I plead to whatever gods there areand all of the Earth’s creatures...
Please let me die another day and return me to the surface!

Incubate the air to make lungs reinflate raising dead weight.
Raise. Dead. Weight.
