Submerged
Written by Jesse Rómlárson

So many years
Without words to write
Suffocated by
An ordinary life

Searching and waiting for
A humdrum love
To have a place
In this ordinary world

Trapped on a sphere
I don’t understand
Living in fear
Inside this cage

I was there
Hidden and unknown
Devastated by
An obsolete love

Living in a land
Without hope
In a country where
The doors are always closed

Submerged
In a turquoise sea
Submerged
Denizen of the deep

Submerged
Where there is nothing to see
Submerged
Where I’m forced to flee

Submerged
Sunk into oblivion
Submerged
Striving towards the sun

Submerged
Waiting for an answer
Submerged
Fighting against the tide

My new way out
Blazing my own trail
Drowning my doubts
Ready to prevail

Escape from the deep
Reach up for the light
Don’t go back to sleep
Or go down without a fight

Ascend with new pride
Clear the fear from my mind
Nothing will be denied
Leaving the past behind

Submerged
Escaping from the abyss
Submerged
Feel the sun’s warm kiss

Submerged
Rising to the surface
Submerged
My own path to bliss

Submerged
Waiting for an answer
Submerged
Striving to reach the sun

Submerged
Unveiling a new answer
Submerged
Fighting against the tide

Submerged
Writing my own answer
Submerged
A future burning bright
