descent

lyrics

[Verse]

Opening eyes

To blinding sunlight.

Cracked lips

And salt-pruned skin.

Glimmers too hot

Off this sparkling mirage.

Splashing my face,

Stealing all I have to say.

[Chorus]

I’m bobbing in place,

Wading in the waves,

Boats passing my fate,

I blend with the fray.

This water lulls me to sleep,

But there’s no rest, no peace.

Numb and shriveling, lost at sea,

With no one looking for me.

[Verse]

Memories, fleeting,

Of a race through trees.

Being chased away,

A fantasy escape.

But no one searched as I left,

So no one stopped my descent.

[Chorus]

I’m bobbing in place,

Wading in the waves,

Boats passing my fate,

I blend with the fray.

This water lulls me to sleep,

But there’s no rest, no peace.

Numb and shriveling, lost at sea,

With no one looking for me.

[Bridge]

I chose this path, I know,

Through the grim night's glow.

Ending in a pool,

A brine blanket soothed

All this mounting fright.

But it doesn’t feel like

I have any freedom

Or any will to fight.

Because no one searched as I left,

So no one stopped my descent.

But no one searched as I left,

So no one stopped my descent.

Cause no one searched as I left,

So no one stopped my descent.

But no one searched as I left,

So no one stopped my descent.

Is this ocean just a well of tears?

Am I captive, shrouded from it being clear?

Can I swim to shore, escape this numbing shame?

Or would that only unleash all of the pain?

How do I fight such a storm with no goal

When I have no light to guide me home?

Because there is no home for me to go.

No home for me to go...

[Chorus]

I’m bobbing in place,

Wading in the waves,

Boats passing my fate,

I blend with the fray.

This water lulls me to sleep,

But there’s no rest, no peace.

Numb and withering and lost at sea,

But no one is looking for me.

[Outro]

No one is looking for me,

And that's the reason I left.

No one searched for me,

And no one stopped my descent.

No one stopped my descent.
