I feel myself drifting slowly away Far from the safe shallows of sanity Nocturnal agony poisons the day Dawning my death knell in a minor key
I wish I knew and I wish I could say What catastrophe is coming for me But I feel it advancing just the same
I hear its heavy footfalls in the night The chilling wind is whispering my name The squatting clouds have blotted out the light The dark descends to cover me with shame
The waters all around me dank and deep Are rising now and rocking me to sleep With lullabies of bitterness and blame
What catastrophe is coming for me I wish I knew and I wish I could say Far from the safe shallows of sanity I feel myself drifting slowly away
