Undertow |
| I know what I wanted |
| I know what I wanted |
| I know how I wanted this to be You go down to the water |
| Drink down of the water |
| Walk up off the water, leave it be This is not my time, sister |
| It is cold in heaven |
| And I’m not sprouting wings |
| I’m drowning |
| Me |
| I’m drowning |
| Me, yeah |
| Brother can you see those birds? |
| They don’t look to heaven |
| They don’t need religion, they can see |
| They go down to the water |
| Drink down on the water |
| Fly up off the water, leave it be This is not my time, sister |
| It is cold in heaven |
| And no one’s coming after me |
| I’m drowning |
| Breathing ourselves |
| Me, yeah |
| Breathing ourselves |
| I’m drowning |
| Breathing ourselves |
| Me, yeah |
| You know I am tired |
| Cold and bony tired |
| Nothing’s gonna save me, I can see |
| I can’t say I’m fearful |
| I can’t say I’m not afraid |
| But I am not resisting, I can see |
| I don’t need a heaven |
| I don’t need religion |
| I am in the place where I should be I am breathing water |
| I am breathing water |
| You know a body’s got to breathe |
| (repeat chorus 2x) |
