Shed these shackles Existence makes the heart grow colder The pain of loss pushing me forward But I can't shake this fear of growing older All I see are blank faces in the crowd Voices beckon me, but are void of sound They're seeking to let me drown, let me drown Over and over constantly pulling me down, let me drown Hands reach out in every direction catering to To the pleasures of the flesh Ripping and tearing until there's nothing left Existence makes the heart grow colder The pain of loss pushing me forward But I can't shake this fear of growing older Mortality means nothing to me, take my hand Drown with me I release restraints, holding me down I will break these chains, binding me Led to the water Like a lamb to the slaughter Submerged with your son's and daughters I try to reach the surface but still I falter It waits in every shallow corner It waits for us all Mother of abomination I accept this gift of sin Shed the skin of humanity, and let deviance win
