Breathing Water

A song about drowning, because who has hasn't written one?

Sounds trapped in vaccuum

Echoed from the distant coves

The water wraps around me

In twirled bends and bows

Now I'm breathing water

With my feet trapped in the sand

Fumbling deeper now in stillness

Please just take my hand

What I wouldn't give up now

For one more burst of air

Only silhouettes now

Underneath the sun's murky flare

And now I'm breathing water

As the current passes by

My words are lost within me

Beneath the tidal ebbing cry

Time expands before me

With each second slipping down

Please just reach out to grab me

I'm scared that I'm going to drown

And now I'm breathing water

My pleas in darkness hushed

Weightless I will fall now

'Til in silence I am crushed
