I swam down to the bottom of the river
In the muddy water I could not see anything
I thought the silence would be killing me
But in the silence, I found that I could breathe

The world above had so much chaos
I think I'll stay down here in the mud and moss
When the current moves I will too
Down in the weeds, I don't have to feel a thing

Underneath it all the devil lies in wait
Holding onto hope that someday I will break
It's not uncommon to feel nothing at all
When the waves of the water are your only walls

It gets hard sometimes
When my clock decides
To wrap its hands around you
And that's all I've wanted to do
Since I met you
