I believe right now if I could
|
I would swallow you whole
|
I would leave only bones and teeth
|
We could see what was underneath
|
And you would be free then
|
|
Once I thought only tears could make us free
|
Salt wearing down to the bone
|
Like sand against the stone
|
Against the shoreline
|
|
I am friend to the undertow
|
I take you in, I don't let go
|
And now I have you
|
|
I wanted to learn all the secrets
|
From the edge of a knife
|
From the point of a needle
|
From a diamond
|
From a bullet in flight
|
I would be free then
|
|
I am friend to the undertow
|
I take you in, I don't let go
|
And now I have you
|
|
I wanted to see how it would feel
|
To be that sleek
|
And instead I find this hunger's
|
Made me weak
|
|
I believe right now if I could
|
I would swallow you whole
|
I would leave only bones and teeth
|
We could see what was underneath
|
And you would be free then
|
|
I am friend to the undertow
|
I take you in, I don't let go
|
And now I have you
|
|
I am friend to the undertow
|
I take you in, I don't let go
|
And now I have you
|
