lyrics

Is that your ghost portal, an opening you can't fit through?
Closing forever, all your hopes within
You're the smoke on the harbor, always floating in the air
Clandestine as the blood of the sinking ship of wanderers
In the silence of the ocean floor
Blackness pressing in like you knew before
It's been explored, but I know there's something else
Just let go and believe your lungs won't fill with water yet

Make yourself a ball, pressed against the wall
You could escape it, if you didn't create it
Let me die like the fire, slowly as you fall asleep

You'll wake up when it's cold again
But the nightmare remains when the day comes in
And the lock on your door won't save you now
Always remember
Every waking breath
Love yourself to death
Don't be like the rest
You can't just let your death only be witnessed by fireflies
Trying to lose themselves in the night

I found some footprints staggering to the cliff side
I think they might be mine from last night
I guess I'll lay here in the tall grass for the rest of my life
But nothing could ever pull me
Away from the edge
It's my final breath, I'll use it when I want because it's been a lifetime
Longing for this
Nightmare to end...I'm so tired of wondering

What am I supposed to be?
