It takes me,
It takes my soul,
Into the water.
Where we'll be.
It finds my peace,
And It drowns it.
It takes my rationality,
My sanity,
And It crushes it.
So I am a madman swimming
Into
Anger.
I have no reason,
To stay afloat.
I will drag you down with me.
I want to break you in half.
My anger is a behemoth,
Gigantic and hungry.
Fix me,
Oh please keep me.
Don't shatter me.
I don't want to lose you.
I feel bipolar,
Unpredictable.
The Leviathan swims through me,
Feeds me it's power.
Its anger,
Its peace.
Its wholesome mind.
I am a madman swimming
Into
A
Swarm
Of feelings.
So many vantage points,
So many thoughts,
Such a lack of oxygen,
And water of confusion fills my lungs.
This is a beautiful place,
Because you are here.
This is an unholy place,
Because you are here.
Simply,
I love you,
I can't stand you.
I hate what I've become.
I love this power.
I AM this power.
I am the bend and break of your heart.
It takes me,
To where I can never return.
And I'm feeling it.
It surges through me,
Like the love I once felt for you.
It takes me through darkness into pure
Blank.
It takes me,
It takes my soul,
Into the water,
Where we'll be.
It takes me,
To where I can never return.
It speaks in a language not familar,
So ancient,
So elegant.
So scary.
So hopeless.
These are the words of a madman so far gone.
Be my madwoman,
Drown in the drunk water,
Drown in the Leviathan's tears,
For It is always crying.
It will give you power,
The power to overcome,
The power to lose your mind.
Freely.
You would never imagine it,
But the Leviathan is a beautiful creature.
I confide in it,
And it tells me to just let go.
To hold my breathe.
Maybe it doesn't take you "drowning" to
Be
My
Madwoman.
Maybe you don't have to lose your mind.
Just be my woman.
Leave the "mad" to me.
For if you choose to not be mine,
The madness and It are all I have left.
They will take me,
They will take my soul,
Into the water.
Where I'll be alone.
They will take me,
To where I can never return.
