Despairing
All I have is hope
Someone someone please
My words remain dead silent
I hope someone's listening
It feels just like I'm drowning
Water people everywhere
No one can see or hear me
And I'm running out of air
Imagine just one planet
With no moons no stars no sun
Cold lifeless and barren
Nowhere light can come in from
Hideous a monster
Shouldn't come out of his cave
All that his heart should feel
Is the cold steel of a blade
From the bottom of the pool
I see people in the sun
Watered down romantic fool
Can not remember where I'm from
Deep within cold water
All that I had was hope
It escaped when the light left me
Now all that's left to do is choke
There still is a slim chance
Someone someone save me please
All I've ever had was no one
I hope someone's listening

and heard your whispers of love in my
I don't know where I'm going
I do not know the way,
I've lost all sense of purpose...
It's not alright,
I'm not ok,
I feel so
It's a simple concept really
Breathe in and then exhale
Then why am I here gasping
Air all around.......I pale
The crushing
