undertow

Tool

Gone under two times.

I've been struck dumb by a voice that
speaks from deep
beneath the endless water.
It's twice as clear as heaven,
and twice as loud as reason.
It's deep and rich like silt on a riverbed
and just as neverending.
The currents mouth below me opens up around me.
Suggests and beckons all while swallowing.
It surrounds and drowns and sweeps me away.
But I'm so comfortable... Too comfortable.

Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.
You're saturating me
How could I have let this bring me back to my knees?

Under for the third time.
I've been baptized by your voice.
It screams from deep beneath the cold black water
it's half as high as heaven,
half as clear as reason,
it's cold and and black like silt on the riverbed,
and just as neverending.
The currents mouth below me opens up around me.
It suggests and beckons all while swallowing.
It surrounds and drowns and sweeps me away.
But I'm so comfortable.
Far too comfortable.

Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up your saturating me.
How could I have let this happen?

Why don't you kill me?
I am weak and numb and insignificant.
How could I have let this bring me back to my knees?

Eu-pho-ri-a.
Eu-pho-ri-a.
Eu-pho-ri-a.
Eu-pho-ri-a.

I'm back down. I'm in the undertow.
I'm helpless and awake. I'm in the undertow.
I'll die within the undertow.
There doesn't seem no other way out of the undertow.

Eu-pho-ri-a.
