(Whether my eyes are closed or they open, it’s the same thing, It’s the same thing. I breath the same thing when I’m laying in the ocean. When they closed, or they’re open it’s just the same thing, I breath the same thing. When I’m laying in the ocean)
White walls are painted
Layer of something
Not absence in nothing
Not un-held yet
I’ll wait to release
Tattered, unsheathed
Breathless and cold
Real light doesn't blind me
Embraced, I’m cradling
(Nothing ever happens, nothing ever happens. Life begins then it ends and it’s so tragic. Nothing ever happens, nothing ever happens. Life begins then it ends, it’s just so tragic)
Wrapped in my comfortable shell
Hiding a horrid anxiety
Of failure
Holding again until the real light
Take me away from this agony
Anguish, extinguished
Depression is numbed
But held by loose fingers
Your temporary hold on me
I don't feel the cold
I don’t feel the cold,
When I feel your real light
(I wonder what my life is like, wonder what my life is like, wonder what my knife is like. Not afraid to climb the heights, wonder what my life is like)
Now I feel the cold
Gripping me with light
(When they’re closed or they open, it’s all the same thing. It’s all the same thing cuz we breath the same thing. When they’re closed or open, it’s all the same thing, it’s all the same thing. And we breath the same thing. From the ocean. Nothing ever happens, nothing ever happens, life begins and it ends and it ends so tragic. Nothing ever happens, nothing ever happens, break the rules of life and I turned into matter. I wonder what my life is like, I wonder what my knife is like. Let’s get it, climb the heights. In the dark, where you gonna find the light?)
