Lyrics

Beneath the Silt

[Verse 1]

Sailing under sheets of rain

The waves crashing inside my brain

A gray horizon lies below

The oceans pulling undertow

[Chorus]

Swallowed by the silence of the watery abyss

Save me, I'm drowning

Beneath the silt

I'm sinking

Beneath (the silt)

[Verse 2]

Clouds of ashen paint the sky

A black fog forces down the eyes

A casket floating out from shore

Depression closer evermore

[Chorus]

Swallowed by the silence of the watery abyss

Save me, I'm drowning

Beneath the silt

I'm sinking

Beneath

[Bridge]

Climbing the walls

Climbing the walls

Climbing the walls

Climbing the walls

Beneath the silt

Beneath the silt

Beneath the silt

Beneath the silt

[Chorus]

Swallowed by the silence of the watery abyss

Swallowed by the silence of

Grasping at the skies above

I'm drowning

Beneath the silt

I'm sinking

Beneath the silt

I'm drowning

Beneath the silt

I'm sinking

Beneath the (silt)

Beneath the silt
