lyrics

If you could breathe beneath the ocean
Free from all the ungodly commotion
The deprivation of oxygen
Just might make you feel
Feel the same as we've all felt
From all the damage that you've dealt
The suffocation of overwhelm
Just might make you see

That it's time to go far away

So wherever this journey takes you
Don't let the pressure break you
A sudden conscience for the mistaken
Will create your final words
"Oh please, don't lead me off
Of the beaten path
Coz I've never been good
At metaphors or maps"

It's time to go far away

It's time that you chose
Which emotions to feign
To end your regime
Of guilt and pain
It's time that you fold
Discontinue this reign
Of isolation
And deprecation
