lyrics

The nightmares never seem to let me sleep
They're always clawing away at my feet
Slowly killing me
But you watch me go smiling

I can’t breathe with the weight of the ocean on my chest
The rope around my ankle keeps pulling me under

Cut me loose, untie this noose
Adrift at sea, no air to breathe
Drowning’s slow, this never ends
Hang me instead, it’s a quicker death
I know you, do you know me?
I’m cracking in half slowly

The ocean grabs my ankles and pulls me underneath
Sucks the air out of my lungs
Like the first time you spoke to me

These waves come crashing down around me
My mind is racing
Pushing, pulling, never ceasing

Cut me loose, untie this noose
Adrift at sea, no air to breathe
Drowning’s slow, this never ends
Hang me instead, it’s a quicker death
I know you, do you know me?
I’m cracking in half slowly
