Im a mile deep, still I'm shallow
A black, bitter ocean
My waves are hungry like the shadows
Starved of light and all emotion
I need solace to part the sea
Show a frozen heart the path to care
Or sink down and drown here with me
In the depths of my despair
A world upside down
Below all of the air
Devoid of needless sound
Still hitting sharper than a snare
Let the pressure overwhelm
In time we all decay
Let mother nature take the helm
And sail our ship away
Would you wade down in the murky brown?
Down in this fishy deep
No other life for miles around
Davey Jones locker where we’ll sleep
Scales and fins growing in my skin
I want a pond to rot in.

Im a mile deep, still I'm shallow
A black, bitter ocean
My waves are hungry like the shadows
Starved of light and all emotion
I need solace to part the sea
Show a frozen heart the path to care
Or sink down and drown here with me
In the depths of my despair
A world upside down
Below all of the air
Devoid of needless sound
Still hitting sharper than a snare
Let the pressure overwhelm
In time we all decay
Let mother nature take the helm
And sail our ship away
Would you wade down in the murky brown?
Down in this fishy deep
No other life for miles around
Davey Jones locker where we’ll sleep
Scales and fins growing in my skin
I want a pond to rot in.
