Lyrics: Deeper Down

An unfortunate journey
Through a bleak sea of loneliness
I carve through the waves of grief
In a black vastness of self doubt

I have never felt so alone
So pitiful and wretched and low
I'm tried by a terrible wind
The misery and the pain blow

The clouds of grey come overhead
A storm will hunt me down
And rip the guts out of my body
That I would surely drown

Thrashing out at torment and pain
The maddened sea engulfs me
I let myself be swallowed up
The magnificent weight upon me

Deeper I go, deeper down
Didn't think it could get any blacker
The cold bites, the pressure builds
I think I no longer matter

When lovers die and friendships fade
When kin all lie forgotten
The gates of agony spew forth
Your memories, sinking and rotten

So deep now I feel so numb
I'm ravaged by utter loss
The guilt, the grief, the astounding pain
My body, they all will wash

I hope I ne'er return to life
Oh, Christ just let me go
Let death devour my simple soul
Lest my misery grow
