[Verse 1]

Two times in

I've been struck dumb by a voice that

Speaks from deep beneath peerless water that's

Twice as clear as heaven

Twice as loud as reason

Deep and rich like silt on a riverbed

Just as never ending

Current's mouth below me

Opens up around me

Suggests and beckons all while swallowing

Surrounds and drowns and wipes me away

But I'm so comfortable, so comfortable


[Chorus]

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

You're saturating me

How could I let this bring me

Back to my knees?


[Verse 2]

Third time in

I've been baptized by your voice that

Screams from deep beneath the cold black water that's

Half as high as heaven

Half as clear as reason

Cold and black like silt on the riverbed

Just as never ending

Current's mouth below me

Opens up around me

Suggests and beckons all while swallowing

Surrounds and drowns and wipes me away

But I'm so comfortable, so comfortable


[Chorus]

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

You're saturating me

How could I let this happen?

Why don't you kill me?

I am weak and numb and insignificant

How could I let this bring me

Back to my knees?

[Outro]

I'm back down, I'm in the undertow

I'm helpless and I'm awake, I'm in the undertow

I'll die beneath the undertow

There doesn't seem no other way out of the undertow

Euphoria
