Submerged - Acoustic

No answers to the questions Only remarks that are less meaningful than silence Maybe you would have preferred the quiet instead An invisible hand grabs your throat Choking out those last few words of bargaining Like you had any precious breath to spare in the first place How many 'New Normals' can one experience Before he becomes a stranger to the security of consistency With every clock tick A lock clicks Shutting you out of something you didn't know you ever wanted Snapping back to the moment You're asked if there's anything else What more could there be to nothing? You've felt nothing before Yet this is different But you feel like the liar So take another breath Just rest Let emptiness fill up your chest It's time For saying goodbyes And closing your eyes Maybe you just weren't cut out for this life It's a whirlpool's journey Where only a fool fights against the current Heading toward the drain while swimming in place They call it progress But you… you call it drowning But how can you possibly drown in a water declared so shallow? Perhaps you're just stuck upside down With no rise in the tide Still the water above your eyes And how could you see with your sight submerged? You know you're trapped Stuck under something that gives you the urge To come up for air The same air that was stolen from you The breaths you long to remember But again, it's nothing you're reassured Better than something with a name or a word Or the answer to your question they think is absurd It has to be something Something's better than nothing So take another breath Just rest Let emptiness fill up your chest It's time For closing your eyes And saying goodbye Where can you go for someone to shed some light Put an end to this fight Unbury yourself alive What can you do for sun to shine through this night That's blinding your sight Please tell me So take another breath Just rest Let emptiness fill up your chest It's time For closing your eyes And saying goodbye Where can you go for someone to shed some light Put an end to this fight Unbury yourself alive What can you do for sun to shine through this night That's blinding your sight Please tell me So take a final breath Just rest Let emptiness fill up your chest It's time For closing your eyes And saying goodbye (Forget Me)
