ASSEMBLAGE 23 - SURFACE lyrics

rate me

Fall

Seize

I am merely debris

Scattered along the ground

False

Rage

A man in a cage

An explosion without a sound

Drawn

In

By the deafening din

Crumbling into dust

Look

Down

Watching me drown

Choking on my disgust

And when I surface again

I will not breathe the same air as you

And once my enemies are slain

My lungs will drink the liquid sky

Sink

Sleep

Drawing me deep

Pulling me underneath

Push

Strain

For the distant terrain

Struggling just to breath

Freeze

Fold

A story untold

A disaster that could have been

A precursor perhaps

To the cruelest collapse

A sign that I should have seen

And when I surface again

I will not breathe the same air as you

And once my enemies are slain

My lungs will drink the liquid sky

Burst

Through

The smothering blue

Falling into the sky

Rebirth

For whatever its worth

If only just to defy

Crush

Burn

With little concern

Feasting upon my prey

Tear

Rend

Expediting the end

Of everything in my way

And when I surface again

I will not breathe the same air as you

And once my enemies are slain

My lungs will drink the liquid sky
