Drag me down slow, deeper below
Tethered tight, you won't let go
Passive torture, quiet violence
Choking slowly on your silence

You built this cage, locked the door
Threw your keys to the ocean floor
Deeper and deeper, I'm pulled below
Into depths you'll never know

I'm sinking further every day
Watching colors fade away
Held beneath your apathy I'll keep fighting but you don't care
You're killing me slowly by simply standing there

Words like knives, you never speak
Bleeding out, too numb to scream
Promises rust, trust corrodes
Your empty eyes watch me erode

You built this cage, locked the door
Threw your keys to the ocean floor
You stood there just to watch me drown
And called this twisted wreck your crown

I'm sinking further every day
Watching colors fade away
Held beneath your apathy I'll keep fighting but you don't care
You're killing me slowly by simply standing there

Cut the rope, let me arise
Watch me break your perfect lies
I scream, I drown, but you just look away
Your empire has become my grave

I'm sinking further every day
Watching colors fade away
Held beneath your apathy I'll keep fighting but you don't care
You're killing me slowly by simply standing there

I'm starving, suffocating slow
By doing nothing, you've let me go
