It was kairos for me to break down
diving down in this lonely sea
diving or sinking?
In this lacteous liquid
that's always surrounding me
he is prefervid I am in ineffectual
completely lacking in all areas as can be
I want to be like a guisard
I need to hide from you and for me
I was precocious as a child
my ability was feeling pain
I'm never without suffering
I wear misery like a stain
the enemy lured me in like a death adder lures in it's prey
he shackled my wrist
and forced me to become profane
trapped and forever languish it seems
the strength I've gathered I will absolutely retain.
