The stars are elusive
Through the water’s glass
Translucent turns opaque
Blackout approaches fast
I am the chain around your legs
Keeping you from surfacing
Weighing you down
The sun teases freedom
Its rays distract the dead
Fresh lungs rendered useless
How long can you hold your fucking breath
I am not the key, I can’t break the lock
I am a steel chain and cinder-block
(Weighing you down)
I’m not the key, can’t break the lock
I’m a steel chain and cinder-block
I am the chain around your legs
Keeping you from surfacing
Weighing you down
