I once upon a time
Carried a burden inside
Some will ask goodbye
A broken line but underlined
There's an ocean of sorrow in you
Sorrow in me
Saw movement in their eyes
Said I no longer knew the way
Given up the ghost
A passing minds and its a fear
And the wait for redemption ahead
Waiting to fade
Fading again
If death should take me now
Count my mistakes and let me through
Whisper in my ear
Taken more than we've received
And the ocean of sorrow is you
Carried a burden inside
Some will ask goodbye
A broken line but underlined
There's an ocean of sorrow in you
Sorrow in me
Saw movement in their eyes
Said I no longer knew the way
Given up the ghost
A passing minds and its a fear
And the wait for redemption ahead
Waiting to fade
Fading again
If death should take me now
Count my mistakes and let me through
Whisper in my ear
Taken more than we've received
And the ocean of sorrow is you

Yes I agree InVegasit's about an ex of his who committed suicide and Hessian Peel/Hex Omega is connected to it too. The lyrics clearly are about a suicide and I also know someone who's committed the act as well.
