The Storm Subsides "Under"

Under

Slowly pulled under
Sucked farther into your abyss
Clinging... clawing
Trying to stay above
Still you keep hold
And pull...

My muscles stretching beyond limit
Let me go
I can't hold on
Let me go
I can't keep above the water
Let me go
I don't want to drown in your sin
I gasp for air
And let go

Please let me live
I don't want to die
Thrashing in your embrace
Soft and silky
Killing me warmly
Don't do this
I have to rise above you
Please let go
Please let go
