[Intro Whisper] There is a lake beneath the city A lake beneath the stone Every night it grows a little larger Every night it calls me home [Verse 1] Streetlights bend like dying suns Windows blink and shadows run The concrete breathes beneath my feet A silent pulse, a hidden beat The skyline twists, the darkness stirs A voice emerges through the blur Not a word and not a sound Just gravity pulling downward [Chorus] Pull me lower Pull me deeper Past the roots and past the sleepers Something ancient, something cold Waiting where the light won't go Pull me lower Pull me deeper Into the mouth beneath the river If I disappear tonight Will I become the other side? [Verse 2] I buried anger in the glass By morning flowers rose from ash Their silver petals cut the air Like secrets nobody could bear The moon looked wrong above the haze A counterfeit of better days The horizon opened like a wound And showed me something looking through [Chorus] Pull me lower Pull me deeper Past the roots and past the sleepers Something ancient, something cold Waiting where the light won't go [Breakdown] UNDER THE WATER UNDER THE STONE SOMETHING IS WEARING MY SHADOW LIKE ITS OWN UNDER THE WATER UNDER THE SKY IT LEARNED MY NAME THE NIGHT I DIED [Final Chorus] Pull me lower Pull me deeper Past the roots and past the sleepers I am not afraid anymore I have seen this place before Pull me lower Pull me deeper Into the heart beneath the river The monster isn't hunting me The monster is becoming me [Outro] There is a lake beneath the city And tonight it finally sings.
