i've drunk this moon this sky

from the final glass tonight

i breathe this air one last time

before we slip away

soak up the stars, wilted flowers

from the place i watched endless crumbling hours

this mind this world soon to know

the end of their decay



so we all hold hands and one by one

we'll lead each other down

the spiral staircase clockwork steps

of twisting blind descent

and we think we escape

some maelstrom above

but it's inside

it's us



miserable whirlpool

underground we delve

the hypnotic journey

that should be deep into ourselves

to discover what we always knew

our world above will follow too

utopia's not a dream

as long as it's without us



i never want to see

another bleeding face

i never thought i'd know

the pain that i deserve

but inside i know we'll never learn

if we could we'd start again

then watch it burn

hearts and words

blood and water burn
