[Verse 1]

Stretch the bones over my skin

Stretch the skin over my hand

I'm going to the holy land

Stretch the marks over my eyes

Burn the candles deep inside

Yeah, you know where I'm coming from


[Chorus 1]

So give up to greed, you don't have to feed me, yeah

Give up to fate, you don't have to need me

So let it go, won't you let it go, won't you let it go

Won't you let it, drown me in you, yeah?


[Verse 2]

So slip down the darkness to the mouth

Damn the water, burn the wine

I'm going home for the very last time


[Chorus 2]

So throw it away, you don't have to take me, yeah

Make no mistake, I am what you make me

So let it go, won't you let it go, won't you let it go

Won't you let it, drown me in you?


[Post-Chorus]

Drown me in you

Drown me in you

Drown me in you

Drown me in

Drown me in

Oh, drown me in

Yeah, drown me in

Yeah

Ooh


[Bridge]

I see you turn around and burning down

The feeling starts to sink

I feel the hurt surround me, please dissolve me

She's resolved to be


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

So, heal my wound without a trace

And seal my tomb without my face

I'm going to the lonely place


[Chorus 1]

Give up to greed, you don't have to feed me, yeah

Give up to fate, you don't have to need me

So let it go, won't you let it go, won't you let it go

Won't you let it, drown me in you?


[Outro]

Drown me in you

Drown me in you

Drown me in you

Drown me in you

Drown me in you

Drown me in you

Drown me in you

Drown me in
