No Safe Corners

(album: Deluge - 2022)

You can't let it show, this room is unfamiliar
Dark and foreign walls betray
The panic on your face
"You've lost control"
They'll say that now you are expendable

You can't let them know
A map once so familiar
A question always lingering, and an answer vaguely gave
"You've let them go"
You let them go just when they needed you the most

Treading in this water, but you know what I need
One second for another
Drowning in this water and I can barely breathe
One second for another

We see in jagged shapes and slowly closing doors
They see you flickering but you're falling through the floor
Disarm, distract, delay, dissent, disintegrate until there's nothing left

They'll carry memories for you
They will remember for you

We live in jagged shapes, just to die with no safe corners
We crush under the weight of slowly going under

And I don't want to forget your name
But I'm slowly going under
