Surface Lyrics - Assemblage 23

Fall 

Seize 

I am merely debris 

Scattered along the ground 

False 

Rage 

A man in a cage 

An explosion without a sound 

Drawn 

In 

By the deafening din 

Crumbling into dust 

Look 

Down 

Watching me drown 

Choking on my disgust 

And when I surface again 

I will not breathe the same air as you 

And once my enemies are slain 

My lungs will drink the liquid sky 

Sink 

Sleep 

Drawing me deep 

Pulling me underneath 

Push 

Strain 

For the distant terrain 

Struggling just to breath 

Freeze 

Fold 

A story untold 

A disaster that could have been 

A precursor perhaps 

To the cruelest collapse 

A sign that I should have seen 

And when I surface again 

I will not breathe the same air as you 

And once my enemies are slain 

My lungs will drink the liquid sky 

Burst 

Through 

The smothering blue 

Falling into the sky 

Rebirth 

For whatever its worth 

If only just to defy 

Crush 

Burn 

With little concern 

Feasting upon my prey 

Tear 

Rend 

Expediting the end 

Of everything in my way 

And when I surface again 

I will not breathe the same air as you 

And once my enemies are slain 

My lungs will drink the liquid sky
