lyrics

wasting away while I float free
no more withholding the air that I breathe
I'll be just fine as a careless disease
always on the run, you're always looking for me
I drift away in the ocean that sings
takes me away and washes me clean of the years of abuse
from a toiling machine
rusting, eroding and malfunctioning
you're wasting away and no one cares
you're wasting away and I don't care
the pieces have fallen, just look at you
the sirens are calling, it's time to fade out
you can't always have what you didn't create
a selfish machine, you only knew how to take
I've salted my wounds, in time they will heal
but you're just a machine, you don't even feel
follow me now
follow me down
this barren ocean will drown us both out
follow me in
follow me down
open up and let your grave take you
there is nothing here for you now
let the water erase you
follow me in
follow me down
this will erase you
nothing can save you
follow me in
follow me down
a rift opens in the ocean floor
twisting and turning and pulling in more
violent circles emerge on the surface
pulling you in to fulfill your purpose
the pressure increases, closing you in
regret gleams in the light of your eyes
just as your end really begins
you understand love
you understand life
I resurface
eyes to the sun
my back to your grave
you fade out; I drift away
