Lyric Undertow

gone under two times.
I ve been struck dumb by a voice that
speaks from deep
beneath the cold black water.
It s twice as clear as heaven
and twice as loud as reason.
It s deep and rich like silt on a river bed
and just as undisturbing.
the currents mouth below me opens up around me.
suggests and beckons all while swallowing.
It surrounds and drowns and sweeps me away.
But I m so comfortable...Too comfortable.

shut up shut up shut up shut up
shut up shut up shut up shut up
you re saturating me
So how could I let this bring me
back to my knees again again again

under for the third time.
I ve been baptized by your voice.
it screams from deep beneath the endless water.
and it s half as high as heaven
and half as clear as reason.
it s cold and and black like silt on the river bed.
But I m so comfortable.
Far too comfortable.
Why don t you kill me,
I m weak and numb and insignificant,
and I m back on my knees.
lost in euphoria.
I m back down. I m in the undertow.
I m helpless and awake in the undertow.
I ll die within your undertow.
It seems there s no other way out of this undertow.

euphoria.
