Nokken from Hydrophobic by Want Of Sin

The sound of breathing fills the room
With its unsteady yet repetitive tempo
And I am crushing my lids shut
With all the force an empty body can muster
Until stars appear
Blistering visions of galaxies undiscovered
Praying
Begging
That in any individual one a god will manifest
To turn the minutes to seconds
Or better halt time in a singular strike
Yet it is oblivion who answers me
And there is nothing and nobody

What a sensation it is to be in a body you no longer own
Hypothermia has set in lost is the chance to go home
How senseless this discordant dance on broken glass
How long have I waded in the water just to realize this cannot last

Lost in the cacophony we were convinced was mastery
What a burden to bear
The weight of our sanctimony
Bestill the blasphemous tongue
That fails to convey
Drown out breathing
With the sound of waves
The pieces devoured have taken their toll
You can't eat me alive
If I swallow you whole
