WOE.BEGONE

When the ballast breaks, I'll drag you back to shore
You'll be my hand-me-down
It took a long long time to pin your location
I wouldn't let you drown
So deferential, damaged your potential
I wanted to use you up
Let's see your longest breath, I bet you can't hold it
When it comes times to test your mettle will you pencil me in?

Shaking is the hand that steals the crown
I bet you’re feeling unencumbered now
It won’t take long to mix you in
When you give yourself to it, you vanish in it

Credit it where it is due
From any point of view
Obscured yourself so that you could
(Vanish in it)
And I could rack my brain
But it’d reveal the same
Inability to visualize you
(Vanish in it)

(Call it the luck of the draw)
I got so much done
Waiting for you to stop
Breathing water
Change your mind and come up
Don’t you think they love us?
All indifferent gods
They made you a pawn
But I put you on the board
Time to appreciate what I've done

Aching is the head that will decide
How to get the most from your waterlogged hide
If they even deign to let you in
When I dry you out, you better vanish in it.
