lyrics

Struck in open water
Mighty ship goes down
Set adrift toward slaughter
Hatred shown through kindness
Despise disguised as love’s brightness

Listing, bobbing, set adrift
Fiery sun a-blazing
Reflecting in the ocean mist
Better that we had drowned
Set free, not ocean-bound

But the sun blazes on
To the dusk from the dawn
We slowly cook in our own skins
Pray for starvation to set in

Lips dry, cracked and bleeding
Tongues swollen, choking
Pray to God, entreating
“Please end this torture
Lift us to nurture”

Each in turn falls asleep
To dream eternally
Leaving me to brave the sea
Better that I had died
Set free, not on this tide

But the sun blazes on
To the dusk from the dawn
I slowly cook in my own skin
Pray for starvation to set in
Another mirage looms ahead
Teasing salvation
I beg you let me join the dead
Don’t leave me here on this ocean

Fall into unconsciousness
To eternal sleep
Awakened from sweet lifelessness
Run aground on this beach

But the sun blazes on
To the dusk from the dawn
I now find shelter from its gaze
And here I finish all my days

Stranded alone
No will to live
No will to die
I just survive

Abandoned hope
Live out my days
Stare at the depths
And wait for death

Hatred shown through kindness

about

DiGregorio image

DiGregorio Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Descend the spiral staircase in front of you. Further, deeper, darker. Voices surround without source, some near, some far. Something moves in the darkness up ahead - is it human? Breathing halts. You cannot move. Hands pull at your arms and legs - but in this kind of darkness, you can’t see a thing.

DiGregorio was born from such a nightmare.
