Beneath

[intro] She dove in like a dreamer Eyes wide with hope and flame He said the water’s warmer But it never felt the same She floated on his laughter ’Til the silence filled her lungs Now every word he whispered Weighs a thousand sinking tons [Pre-Chorus] She’s screaming in the silence But nobody can hear The deeper that she’s falling The more she disappears [Chorus] Beneath the surface, no one sees The weight of love that made her bleed A tangled heart, a silent plea She’s drowning in what used to be Red hair like fire in the tide A ghost of who she was inside She loved him more than she could breathe— Now she can’t break free [Verse 2] The current isn’t angry It just pulls without a sound She told herself she’d make it But there’s no solid ground She thought that love was rescue But it’s the anchor round her feet A prisoner in the water Where promises repeat [Pre-Chorus] She’s screaming in the silence But nobody can hear The deeper that she’s falling The more she disappears [pleading] Beneath the surface, no one sees The weight of love that made her bleed A tangled heart, a silent plea She’s drowning in what used to be Red hair like fire in the tide A ghost of who she was inside She loved him more than she could breathe— Now she can’t break free [spoken word] And if you look too quickly You’ll think she’s just asleep But there’s a war behind her eyelids And it’s buried way too deep [Final Chorus] Beneath the surface, all alone She screams, but it’s a soundless tone Her voice is lost, her heart’s unknown In waters colder than bone Red hair like fire in the tide Love wrapped around her like a lie She loved him more than she could see— Now she can’t break free [Outro] She dove in like a dreamer But dreamers still can drown (Dreamers can still drown)
