The Antagonist Part II: Undertow

Lungs fill to the brim

Letting in all the sin

Drowning down below

I always knew this is how I'd go

Like a rush, you can’t control

Where you’re swept into the undertow

Down under I go

Into the abyss swallowed

I can’t fight it I’m always swept into the tides

Sinking into the dark where I’m free to hide

This hallowed husk I call my mind

Is where the emptiness resides

I continue to be consumed

by my existential nihilistic views

My mind is groomed to anticipate my doom

Hard to escape

I drown in hate

can hardly wait

Till the day

I meet my fate

But then it hits me like a wave

All the pain I’ll cause if I throw myself into my own grave

So I keep it pushing

Keep it moving

Pray that one day hope will consume me

Wishing for brighter days where I can live and let be

Swimming to reach the surface so I can finally just breath
