Floater

Face down
In the water
I drowned
With the lilies
And the rocks
Hit rock bottom
Like my thoughts

Thinking back to this cage
The terror of my mind awaits me
You pushed me all the way
With grins on your stupid gay faces
Just a floater like the log
Just a floater in the bog

Swamp fever without concern
Pushing down with hands i can't discern
Pulpified my heart and soul
Do you care?
Can you enode?
Walking along this vague dark dock
Spirits and beings that were too once lost
Freed of this aching world
My descendence without return

Gehenna
Ashes floating
To the stars
The trees are closing in
And the urge
Time to compensate
The purge

Thinking back to the age
Relevance put on deck
Try to get on page
Flicked away like a fleck
Just a floater in the lake
Just a floater like the mage

Swamp fever without concern
Pushing down with hands i can't discern
Pulpified my heart and soul
Do you care?
Can you enode?
Walking along this vague dark dock
Spirits and beings that were too once lost
Freed of this aching world
My descendence without return

I can't keep living this way
Abuse to my own brain
Pulsifying my damn rage
Wore away like the jade
Wrought for years
But my tears aren't for my fears
Stabbed and stabbed like Cesar
Wore away like the shears
Played for far too long
Maybe this is wear my progress ends
Miss the checkpoint once again
Wore away

Swamp fever without concern
Pushing down with hands i can't discern
Pulpified my heart and soul
Do you care?
Can you enode?
Walking along this vague dark dock
Spirits and beings that were too once lost
Freed of this aching world
My descendence without return
