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 neverending.
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.
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up,
you´re saturating me.
How could I let this bring me,
back to my knees?
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 neverending.
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.
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?
Eu...phor...ia. [x4]
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 to be a way out of the undertow.
Eu..phor..ia.
