Of Fearful Men

Underwater

There is no chance of breathing inside this vessel

Blue lipped and anemic

We are constantly questioning our safety

So much pressure. We struggle

I just want to give in

Please help me

To keep the waters from crashing over me

This ship is sinking. My heart is palpitating

Your God won't save you

We bend and twist. From distant ends

Waves crash together blind without warning

A great deluge. Envelop everything

And all that's lost was taken

Oh, I cannot believe this is happening

Please just give me one more chance

Pressed within your trembling hopeful hands

Intangible. You're wasting time

Steel rivets snap and moan

Intangible

Your God won't save you

Now. The welds are breaking down

My hands are shaking now. The welds are breaking

Oh, what a shame...

You can't hide

Crush the mast-envelop all

Your palms together won't keep us from sinking
