It was a slow descent Thought it might never end It was a life or death Experiment The last one they had left Suddenly you're used to it all Like you finally made it through the withdrawal All the pressure under control But it's quiet on that end of the radio Everyone knows and they still hope Suddenly the water is air You are moving forward going nowhere All the noises keep you awake Close your eyes and find the place In the past and let it replay replay It was a slow descent It was an accident It was a system failure Mother nature laughed out All the way down Suddenly you're pulled out of place Like the nightmare one where the tidal wave Appears so clear out of the blue You just stand scared and there's nothing you can do
