lyrics

I don't know much about it
Oh it’s really just to help you to sleep
And I don’t think it’s all that deep
It’s just some bullshit theosophy
There's a woman in the water
And there's a viper that bites at your chest
It’s a story with a lesson at the end
Another fable that I’ve never read

There’s a cure you can take
But it’s got such an aftertaste
Of all of the days that you wasted away
And every mistake that you’ve ever made

It’s not just the weight of the anchor and the chain
It’s the sight of the body of water above
It’s the taste in your mouth as you swallow salt water and mud
And it’s the crush of the depth
Like the light hasn’t reached you yet
And every time you take a breath
It just feels like you ought to be drowning instead

There's a cure you can take
But it’s got such an aftertaste
And the longer you hesitate
The harder it gets to ever escape
There’s a light on the shoreline
There’s machinery buried deep
And I can hear my name get called
And I’m not scared at all

The first step into water
And the noise from the crowd
The walls closing in on you
As you start to head underground
And it’s cracked and it’s warped
And there’s blood on the floor
Well let me go first, man
Because I’ve seen all of this before
