Undertow

i am drowning in your undertow

my stone heavy heart sinks me

into your depths

drowning me in you

 

now i know how it feels to drown

struggling makes it worse

now i know how it feels to drown

struggling makes it worse

 

i can see the shipwrecks

the rotting of the lost

pulling, dragging currents

drowning me in you

 

now i know how it feels to drown

struggling makes it worse

now i know how it feels to drown

struggling makes it worse

 

your underwater city fallen

my bones live there
