[Chorus]

Wrapped up in your leviathan

Did you sink or did you swim?

It could have been your exodus

But the smoke had cleared for all of us

And there you stood

Giving up your good

We fight addicted to the way we were

Double digits aren’t the only thing that make it worse

Half blood and bone is not enough to save

Me from the likelihood of drowning in an early grave

In short we keep pretending that you’re right

This deep fixation has been keeping me awake at night

I’m told escape is in a cold goodbye


[Pre-Chorus]

Impossible is just the way it feels

When your angels are the demons nipping at your heels

She sings a siren to the wayward man

Lost in the water drifting down and rising up again


[Chorus]

We fight convinced that we are not alike

In the destruction we just try to make it out alive

This bag of bones is not enough to prove

That I am separate from everyone including you

Of course it’s truth that we so well deny

A revelation in the weight of all the tears I’ve cried

I’m told escape is giving up the fight


[Pre-Chorus]


[Chorus]

I’m going under

You’re taking me down

Is it any wonder

I’m a slave to the sound?

You’re taking me under

You’re dragging me down

Like an anchor I’m sinking

Like a sailor

Like a sailor I’ll drown


[Chorus]
