"So Far Into the Ocean"


Well time has decomposed,
And I'm the only ghost, left in this rain...
Shudder to think about the ice on my lips
and how can't mend me...

Stuck here in a gaze,
today's the only day, I will not be saved
So shut me out, and listen well
You can't live up to what I sell

A dime for the pain,
A bottle of whiskey and I am more alone..
Nobody told me, my story was going to end so quickly
Leave me by the ocean waves, nighttime fades and I'm frozen
Naked in the drowning water...

My skin's turned blue, my heart is dead
the blackening of my lips
Turn your attention to anything but me

The cold reacts, I'm still intact but can't make up my mind
Where I will go no one will know
And I couldn't ask for anything more.

The ocean waves, stole my warmth
That one simple touch that killed my nerves...
