Everything moves slower underwater
Have you ever noticed?
Limbs floating aimlessly
Gliding through the current
Each strand of hair suspended
Frozen
Following the tug of your scalp
No matter how fast you dance with the waves
Time stands still
Keeping you under
Hypnotizing you
Romanticizing your every motion
You’re so bewitched
It’s too late to notice you’re drowning.

Everything moves slower underwater
Have you ever noticed?
Limbs floating aimlessly
Gliding through the current
Each strand of hair suspended
Frozen
Following the tug of your scalp
No matter how fast you dance with the waves
Time stands still
Keeping you under
Hypnotizing you
Romanticizing your every motion
You’re so bewitched
It’s too late to notice you’re drowning.
