Strong Tide, Withering Heart
Location
It feels like I'm drowning in an endless sea of sadness
The pain sears right through my lungs
As the air leaves my body
I feel the darkness come for me
Slowly it ensnares me in a cold embrace
My chest heaves softly; ceases to exsist
The quiet rise and fall can barely be seen
A wordless cry for something to give
You've got your hands wrapped around my neck.
Hold on tight--tightly and squeeze the life out of me.
I silently wish you'd make it quick
The pain is too much to bear
If only you'd crush me that much tighter
Instead of leaving me in a black limbo
All I wanted was for you to love
But for some reason it was all too much
I shared all of my secrets
To be turned away, replaced with false pretenses
The promises you made
All wash away
With the tidal waves of lies
A tsunami of heartache and black seas of hate
You've got your hands wrapped around my body.
Hold on tight; shake the life right out of me.
Sweet surrender whispers to me
I give in just when you tighten your grasp
Your hold around my heart
The final pressure that take my breath away
You've got your hands wrapped around my heart.
Hold on tight; squeeze the life out of me.
We were doomed from the start
Destined to be apart
We could try with all our might
But could never get it right
Onyx seas take me under
It all disappears in a quiet sunder
A moment of clarity before death takes his hold
Your eyes tell me everything I've told
I'm at death's door
Cast away by you
My angel, my reaper
Now it all ends
You've got your hands wrapped around my neck.
Hold on tight; squeeze the life out of me.
