Midnight in the Undertow

[Verse 1] Dark water over my head Moon’s just a coin in the grate Breath in a jar by the bed Salt on the words that I taste Ghosts of my choices, they circle Silver-eyed fish in the deep Every regret like a mural Painted on walls where I sleep Hands on the glass of the future Fog up the past when I sigh Current keeps pulling me under Truth is a shape I can’t lie [Chorus] Midnight in the undertow I dive where the wild thoughts go Every scar a secret code I read slow, I read slow (yeah) Talking to the dark below Heart beats like a distant glow If I drown in what I know Let it show, let it show [Verse 2] I see my fears as anemones Soft, but they sting when I graze Love is a reef full of memories Sharp little edges I praise I keep my anger in shipwrecks Rust on the names that I carved Hope is a lantern that drips wax Still, I protect every spark Question my face in the ripple Which one is real when it breaks? Maybe the honest is simple I’m just a tide that awakes [Chorus] Midnight in the undertow I dive where the wild thoughts go Every scar a secret code I read slow, I read slow (oh) Talking to the dark below Heart beats like a distant glow If I drown in what I know Let it show, let it show
