Breaking down in pools of water
which surround me, envelop me
I am immersed
In a world tinted blue
Underwater… Under pressure
Bubbles play around me
Tempting but untouchable
For fear of fingerprints that pop
Bubbles are unreliable
Hold my hand and hold me down
Let me go and let me rise
Up Up Up to the top
To the surface…. well, almost
Foot neatly caught
In weeds too strong to snap
But maybe thats good
Maybe the surface is too real… too tangible
Maybe it’s safer here
In my world tinted blue
Maybe it’s safer here…
Breaking down in pools of water

Breaking down in pools of water
which surround me, envelop me
I am immersed
In a world tinted blue
Underwater… Under pressure
Bubbles play around me
Tempting but untouchable
For fear of fingerprints that pop
Bubbles are unreliable
Hold my hand and hold me down
Let me go and let me rise
Up Up Up to the top
To the surface…. well, almost
Foot neatly caught
In weeds too strong to snap
But maybe thats good
Maybe the surface is too real… too tangible
Maybe it’s safer here
In my world tinted blue
Maybe it’s safer here…
Breaking down in pools of water
