The one go down is alive
It is part of my plight
The one inside makes a sign
And keeps an eye to the light, yeah
I sense panic overboard
Obscure, viscid sprawling fog
I hear a sonar rumour
That says I'm far from the shore
How I am stricken with non-emotion
It crawls up above periscopic cognition
Where it strives to dwell in abnormal contortion
I navigate in my maze
Investigate
To be safe safe safe safe
Across the ocean of sheer compromise
There is no matrix, not even a guide
The last wave of sanity
Rolls over my frequency
Skyline under water field
The depths above the high seas
How I am stricken with non-emotion
It crawls up above periscopic cognition
Where it strives to dwell in abnormal contortion
I navigate in my maze
Investigate
To be safe safe safe safe
Across the ocean of sheer compromise
There is no matrix, not even a guide
A twilight house keeper dim-on, dim-off now
A concrete cyclops blinking down his dull eye
Does this code signal something somewhere somehow?
Why me? It goes on and on and on
Please, no
No
Too late for S.O.S
Mute island, fish-eye view circling the border line
No resource, no rescue, stranded, I'm otherwise
The error is perfect like this sub-effect of my kind
My mind, my mind
The one so down is alive
It is part of my plight
The one inside makes a sign
And keeps an eye to the light
To the light
