Peter Vector - The Deep Dark Water

Sudden sadness rushes over me
Like a river that sweeps up my joy
A frosted black tide that floods me inside

I feel chilled to the bone
From all the cold hate and hurting
The shadowy clouds are closing in
I'll never see the light again

My tears run down into the icy lake
That cover my whole body
Whenever I awake to the beat of my lone heart

The deep dark water drowns my body still
Though I seem above and on would ground
I am sinking still
