Correct lyrics:

I am a ghost, this is a dream. There's something here, it calls to me. I sense it 'cause it's always there. So silent as I stare and stare. There is a light, when we're asleep. We bear the doors with locks and keys. With feelings of our hopes and fears, as sounds explode within our ears.

Like stars at night, falling fast asleep. An arisen sun, waiting patiently. You can feel it 'cause it's always there. Growing stronger as we stare and stare. Like love and lies, shake violently Down to the core to foster grief. It has a way to keep me down. I gotta' say it wears me out.

So sadly, soul survivors. Lost and lonely in open water.

Help I'm losing. Help I'm falling. Life is silent, the Earth is calling. Every reason, every night time, And every day starts and ends in sunlight. But I'm not okay with this vicious cycle. Somethings broken, it seems unnatural. These shapes are wondrous, but loosely woven. The sounds are deafening, and time is broken.

So sadly, soul survivor. Lost and lonely in open water.

With that said I think the song is about the insanity of isolation. Growing tired of the routine of living alone without connection to another human being, and contemplating a way out, namely suicide.

@timasahh - thanks for the lyric correction.

A couple things about your thoughts. First off, thank you for sharing them :-) and bringing awareness to suicidal thoughts. Even though I don't believe the message leads to that meaning, I do see how there's a connection between the feeling of the song and it's lyrics and the feelings someone can have when contemplating their reasons behind self-murder. Or better yet, giving up on this existence... So, I actually see how the song can mean what you said. This existence... That's gonna lead to my opinion on what the song is saying.
