lyrics

The undertow is gripping me. I'm kicking and screaming. The current is carrying me deeper, deeper into the sea. Oh no. The current reclaims me as the evening tide recedes, retreating from the beach with the empty hull of me. Oceanic Miss Atlantic calls us with her song. Under fathoms, we all gather, in spite of bursting lungs to learn the secret she's been keeping from each of us for years, 'til one by one, our lungs succumb. We surface, surface from the deep. Oceanic Miss Atlantic calls us with her song. The water's crushing me with its pressure at these depths. I try to breathe in, but I can't move my chest. In seconds, this vessel is surely to keel. Round up a crew to organize a rescue. This ship is my tomb, this water my grave. Oh no.
