breathe open your eyes breathe washed away back from the tides speechless the fears I refuse to acknowledge • choking begin to manifest holding out holding on to a delusion • seeing colors desolation tightens its hold losing track of time days begin to blur together no longer feeling alive decay degrade saturated drifting apart carried away a prisoner of the open seas drifting restless, alone far far away from me far from the living hopeless soaking and drifting praying to sink • choking floating, fading letting go, moving on to a delusion • seeing colors desolation washes over losing track of time days begin to blur together no longer feeling alive decay degrade saturated drifting apart carried away pulled out to sea we wake to a rising tide we tried to fight the waves the current carried us away drowning in self-made misery

waking to a world in ruins everything i've known stripped away waking up to a world alone every single seed I've sown has been washed away unfamiliar with my surroundings this place is now shrouded, encased, and soaked in black unfamiliar with my surroundings the haze permeates, it’s overwhelming surrounded and sunk, sopping and sluggish Inhaling crude, regrettably I remain wretchedness take me bring me home to sleep sweet release unbalanced abandoned unsteady I remain blank searching, wandering trying to find my way hopelessly drifting and carried away searching, wandering trying to find my way hopelessly drifting and carried away away away unbalanced abandoned unsteady I remain save me free me save me hades save me take me

Serpentine tongues deceive Me with their siren songs Leading me on to believe In voices of pretend Lashing out at what is nothing more than A figment of my own imagination Apparitions come to life Dream on vivid dreamer Lack of action won’t make believers Put faith in something real Something tangible you can feel Apparitions come to life A nightmare is realized I held my breath for far too long Always turned a blind eye One step outside myself Let go Got lost inside my mind Forked tongues deceiving me Got lost in apathy Thrashing about at sea Attacking my integrity Dream on vivid dreamer Lack of action won’t make believers Put faith in something real Something tangible you can feel So where are you now Wandering in forever after You left me to burn in Gehenna Over days and weeks and years

You're dreaming awake You're not alone from depths you will rise I'll pull you home I can feel it washing over me I can feel it these tides set me free The tides have changed They carry me towards the shore With the winds at my back I can move onward It was your destiny to walk in the clouds to go our separate ways and pursue our own dreams a view of heaven from a seat in hell I watched you faulter I saw the moment that you fell The tides have changed They carry me towards the shore With the winds at my back I can move onward It was your destiny to walk in the clouds to go our separate ways and pursue our own dreams

too scared to let go remain chained to this anchor letting it drag me down can't hold my breath forever how am i supposed to move when i'm letting this guilt weigh me down dragging me beneath the surface continue with excuses they only drag me down it won't be long til i'm dead in the water no longer will i be plagued by a guilty conscience how was i supposed to move I was buried in waves of uncertainty no longer will i be plagued by a guilty conscience seeking deliverance from the fate my transgressions have earned trying only to make sense of a lesson to be learned Not scared to let go unchained from this anchor pulling myself to ground I can breathe, I can stand no more dwelling on the past it will haunt me no longer I won’t sink any lower I won’t let this drag me down In dust I rise rise seeking deliverance from the fate my transgressions have earned trying only to make sense of a lesson to be learned seizing deliverance from belief that i have no control trying only to have purpose a lesson has been learned no more dwelling on the past i won't let it haunt me any longer I won’t sink any lower I won't let this drag me any lower

For the first time In a while I have a reason to hope I have a reason to smile For the first time In several years There’s nothing holding me back Nothing to interfere My eyes have been unveiled A shroud has been lifted I can see clearly now That the haze has subsided There’s no going back to the ways of the past And with that realization there comes some sort of relief A burden has been lifted I now breathe with ease A new beginning A breath of fresh air new life has left my lungs Rejuvenated A new beginning A new awakening New life has left my heart Rejuvenated My eyes now see The subtle beauty inside of everything I previously overlooked The splendor of life The joy that it brings Never really ceases to amaze me sand on my feet the earth beneath me the most comforting feeling, it fills me with a warmth that I had lost to have solid ground beneath me to no longer be floating to be standing in tribute to new life a new flood of color and verve A new beginning A new awakening New life has left my heart Rejuvenated Now that I’ve found myself I can move on In a new direction Now that I’ve found myself I can move on In a new direction I am replenished, I am renewed I’m seeing life through a new point of view No longer taking every moment for granted With every breath I’m feeling blessed to be alive Now that I’ve found myself I can move on In a new direction Now that I’ve found myself I can move on In a new direction For the first time In a while I have a reason to hope I have a reason to smile For the first time In several years There’s nothing holding me back Nothing to interfere
