Below The Waves |
Sometimes I just give up trying |
It seems like a lifetime |
That I’ve been fighting |
It was hard enough |
Just getting out of bed today |
I’d call someone but what on earth |
Would I even say |
Here in this airless space |
No one to plead your pitiful case |
Some call this thing the soul of sadness |
Self-indulgence or a brilliant madness |
All I know is I dying for air |
Swimming just below the waves |
I can see the sky |
Looking darkly through the haze |
The moon is drifting by |
Then someone cuts the anchor |
And slowly up I rise |
An unwelcome guest in your home |
That comes to stay and never wants goes |
Not some much shadow but visitation |
A haunting foreign movie with no translation |
There’s buzzing white noise in my head |
Then sometimes so silent I’m almost dead |
One true thing I hold to dear and fast |
Is a voice that whispers |
«Darlin' this too will pass» |
Even when I’m dying for air |
Swimming just below the waves |
I can see the sky |
Looking darkly through the haze |
The moon is drifting by |
Then someone cuts the anchor |
And slowly up I rise |
This is just a picture not complaint |
Making full sentences |
Has never been my strength |
Some call this thing the soul of sadness |
Self-indulgence or a brilliant madness |
All I know is I’m dying for air |
All I know is I’m dying for air |
