lyrics

(intro)

I was said that this is the right way,
which I chose by myself.
This is the way I should follow.
Then the hesitation crawled in
Raising questions of what I’m missing.
And what is on the other side.
And my doubts dissolved my own path.
I moved onto an ever-branching road
where every path offered something new, something different:
humble paths, peculiar paths, and glorious ones.
And there were more and more of them.
Thousands of sirens calling: "come to me,"
louder and louder: "I dare you!"
And when I realized it was too late,
I got lost.

(the main part)

Come to me.
You swore that you seek me.

You said I have everything you want.
You said you'll take everything.
You said you'll drop whatever you hold.
You said you'll sacrifice yourself.

Let me drown in the depths.
Let me choke on salt from the sea.
Let the pressure crush my skull.
Let oxygen flush from my blood.
Let jellyfish make me dull.
Let sharks tear my body entirely apart.
Let nothing be left.

You know you don't want to dive,
even though you grieve on the mediocrity shore.

Let me drown in the depths.
Let me choke on salt from the sea.
Let the pressure crush my skull.
Let oxygen flush from my blood.
Let jellyfish make me dull.
Let sharks tear my body entirely apart.
Let nothing be left.

You know you don't let yourself dive,
even though you're more daunted by the shallows.

And when I stay here, alone at the shallows.
I'll be watching cold, serene sunshine. No one will come.

With my dignity thrown off, with a frail, imperfect body exposed.
I'll be crying ashamed in front of the night.

Even with my eyes closed, I can feel the incoming tide.
With my head full of deceptive dreams of achieving the right place.

And when I wake up anchored to the ground, ankle-deep in the sand.
I'll be watching others that swam away, others that took their chance.
I'll fade away filled with regret and bathed in my own tears.
