Don’t Hold Your Breath

After the crash landin' left me stranded
On an abandoned oceanic planet
I said to myself, ain't gonna hold my breath
Waitin' around for death, now that my flag is planted
Add the fact my vessel has been damaged
I've never been the handiest mechanic
I'd better gather scrap and get to scannin'
Loss of oxygen? Try not to panic!
Transmit an emergency rescue message
I suspect nobody will ever get it
Guess I'll get this habitat expandin'
Call me Aqua-man, I'll make Atlantis
My legacy will be Titanic
Except James Cameron ain't directin'
Remember the end, when Jack did jackshit?
Forget that shit, I'm callin' action

Now drop - into the depths
An immeasurable endless dimension
This isn't war, but I'll stick to the trenches
Intelligence is your deadliest weapon
Never fathomed all the fathoms
That this sea's eclectic life inhabits
Better have your wits about you
Don't neglect your stasis rifle practice
Yeah, ever since I've descended
I've been breathless, pun-intended
That might be a side effect of rappin' so fast
Cuz I'm getting rather lightheaded
I'm knockin' objectives off my checklist
Found a couple pods left in the wreckage
Everybody else already met their death
Rest In Peace, at least a blueprint's collected

Can you sense any sentient presence?
Who left these ancient tech advances?
Could they have vanished when I landed?
Will my questions ever be answered?
Potential threat - make an assessment
I am gonna bet it's aggressive
My energy levels are precious
I'm not in my element, I feel defenseless

There is no one left
In these ocean depths
You're at your own behest
So don't hold your breath

Headfirst I'll be divin' in
I'm makin' tidal waves like a leviathan
Apex predator - you bet I am him
Top of the food chain is where I will sit
Got an appetite for any kind of fish
Cured peeper's quite an energizing dish
Add a Chinese potato on the side with it
Even Gordon Ramsey might say I'm impressed
I collect metal, magnetite, and lead
Copper, quartz, and any diamond I can get
Save the gilder, batteries are dyin' man
Unless you really like to swim

Biters bite me, stalker right behind me
Every mesmer is tryin' to mesmerize me
I guess they like me, but I can't blame 'em
I'm giving off vibes like radiation
Don't you forget about hydration
Need water bottle? Fabricate one
Get your hands on a bladder-fish
I've never seen creatures as abstract as this
What's that? Half a crab and half a squid?
Shocked that I haven't seen a kraken yet
But I'd believe if that exists
Dragons are known to roam these magma pits

Water pressure getting heavy
Power cells about to be empty
I love my Cyclops, but it won't protect me
Not from the enemies that I have seen
I just saw JAWS - didn't affect me
At least not till I was in neck-deep
I'll freak out if I see another damn leech
You can't breath down here, but you can scream

There is no one left
In these ocean depths
You're at your own behest
So don't hold your breath

There is no one left
In these ocean depths
You're at your own behest
So don't hold your breath

Echoes of beasts surround me
But I won't abandon the mission
Loneliness feels like drowning
I'm slowly losing my vision

Keep going deeper leave sunlight behind
The sea has me reeling, my life's on the line
Heart beating, I'm breathing then I'm still alive
So take one more dive

There is no one left
In these ocean depths
You're at your own behest
So don't hold your breath

There is no one left
In these ocean depths
You're at your own behest
So don't hold your breath
