Still Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They were there oh I know you don't believe me
Oh, I've never felt so strange
But I'm not going insane
I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do
Oh
They drain my strength away
Oh
They're asking me to stay
Nightmares
Spirits calling me
Nightmares
They won't leave me be
All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool
Now I feel they are so near
I begin to see them clear
Nightmares
Coming all the time
Nightmares
Will give me peace of mind
Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too
Oh
We'll drown together
I
Will be forever
Nightmares
Forever calling me
Nightmares
Now we rest in peace
