Wading in this river of Time.
Deeper than I fathom.
So, I swim for the bank.
I avoid the undertow.
I can make it.
How'd I get here? One moment ago, I was floating away.
Now it appears that it's my own life I am trying to save.
I will face fear and know to hold tightly onto my reins.
Caught in a whirlpool of temporal fate
While my drifting conscience is drifting away.
Almost there, almost there.
I can see myself lying on the shore.
Almost there, almost there.
I can see myself dying in this cold.
My mind says to struggle so I pay it respect.
Now I'm treading harder but, still no effect.
I realize trouble yet I stay unperplexed
As I'm pulled faster into time's depths.
Sinking down this river of Time.
Deeper than I fathom.
So far from the bank.
I'm caught in the undertow.
Caught in the undertow
The sky disappears I can see surface though it's so far away.
The bed is so near I know that it will soon be my grave.
I can't face fear I'll go so slow with head down in shame.
Repeating of flash bulbs and all of my mistakes
While my drifting conscience is drifting away.
Almost there, almost there.
I can see myself lying on the shore.
Almost there, almost there.
I can see myself dying in this cold.
My mind says to struggle so I pay it respect.
I'm thrashing harder, still no effect.
I realize trouble as I feel the cold grip.
Sinking ever faster towards my death.
Float below this river of Time.
Its pools are deeper than I fathom.
So where is the bank?
Held back by the undertow.
It all becomes clear I lose control as I'm fading away.
My ending is here and at this point it is all that I crave.
Now I know fear and fold into its gentle embrace.
Living a nightmare underneath of Time's waves
While my drifting conscience is drifting away.
Almost there, almost there.
I can see myself lying on the shore.
Almost there, almost there.
I can see myself dying in this cold.
My mind says to struggle so I pay it respect.
Now treading harder still no effect.
I realize trouble for I've lost my courage.
As the churning swells replace my sweet breath.
I can only wonder what will happen next
As my life bubbles to the surface.
