The
Icy
waters
embrace
my
soul
adrift
and
weightless
toward
heavens
gates
my
goal.

[INTRO]
Cold ocean waters envelop, my body becomes numb,
Floating quietly down, down, down I slowly succumb.
Lifes weight on my tired shoulders begins to release, (pain released.....)
Cacophony of voices, ebb until finally they cease.
Sinking deeper, and deeper toward that dark abyss, (darkest abyss.....)
As its cold embrace invites the peaceful silence I miss.

ummmmm Ummmmmmm UMMMMmmmmm

[CHORUS]
Adrift, adrift, I'm lost in the tide
Drowning in sorrow, with no place to hide (no where to hide!!!!!!)
My heart is heavy, my soul is sore
Adrift, adrift, adrift no more (away from the shore!!!!!)

[VERSE 1]
Round after round I suffered defeat in lifes ring,
But after a lifetime of losses, I've grown numb to its sting (life's painful sting......)
No longer wanting to fight, I now conceding to the night,
And in that sweet surrender, find that my soul takes flight. (Drifts freely away....)
Floating silently, down, down, down toward a watery grave,
Adrift, adrift, drowning at sea, but in life no longer a slave.

ummmmm Ummmmmmm UMMMMmmmmm

[OUTRO]
[Vocals: Strong and Passionate, Angry this was the only way out]
Standing at the edge, desperately looking down from the top,
A heart and soul full of blackness, stained by sorrows backdrop.
I leapt from the bridge, left with no more reasons to stay,
Believed in my heart that the water, would wash this pain away.
Instead, I find myself sinking, gently into the silent abyss,
Left with only the echoes of my regrets, and my tears to kiss.

ummmmm Ummmmmmm UMMMMmmmmm

[CHORUS]
Adrift, adrift, I'm lost in the tide (sooooooo lost in the TIDE!!!!!!!!)
Drowning in sorrow, with no place to hide (no more PLACES TO HIDE!!!!!!)
My heart is heavy, my soul is sore (ohhhhhh sooooooo SORE!!!!!!)
Adrift, adrift, adrift no more (slowly drifting away from the shore....)

Drifting quietly away from the shore

[FADE TO END]
[END]
