A storm inside
The Waves of my mind endless tide
Struggle to raise both eyelids
No way to remember what I did
Inside this bottle again I will hide
The Cell abruptly swallows the shore
A fury of madness and chaos
These vests will not save us
How may I steer clear with no oar
The waters continue to churn
Only one route to go
But I paddle too slow
Impeded by bridges I've burned
Too blinded to notice I'm sinking
My boat's slowly filled up
From this overfilled cup
Chance of survival is rapidly shrinking
Body finally greets the water
I swim and I swim
This one I cannot win
Abruptly I am underwater
I fight for just one last breath
The light slowly fades
As I leave my last day
The bottle is all that is left
Struggle to raise both eyelids
No way to remember what I did
Inside this bottle again I will hide
The Cell abruptly swallows the shore
A fury of madness and chaos
These vests will not save us
How may I steer clear with no oar
The waters continue to churn
Only one route to go
But I paddle too slow
Impeded by bridges I've burned
Too blinded to notice I'm sinking
My boat's slowly filled up
From this overfilled cup
Chance of survival is rapidly shrinking
Body finally greets the water
I swim and I swim
This one I cannot win
Abruptly I am underwater
I fight for just one last breath
The light slowly fades
As I leave my last day
The bottle is all that is left
