When was the last time you looked at me with adoration?
I've only existed by the blessing of your apparition
I am drowning, falling from the surface
To lose what is closest to me is the end of my beginning
Adapting forms consume the thought of this love ending
I am drowning, falling further from the surface
You were the constant truth that gave my life purpose
Conflict resides inside my desperate lungs
Maintain the oxygen or just fill up
I feel so close to you again
Let a scream out and the water in
This was meant for us to share, an elegy sung for you to hear
Unending love from a heart that's been sinking since you left
I am the son remembering his father's death
To lose what is closest to me is the end of my beginning
Adapting forms consume the thought of this love ending
Unending love
