The Deep End

[Intro: Muffled, underwater-sounding guitars and muted drums] [Verse 1] [Vocals sound slightly distant, echoing] Treading the water for so many years Swallowing panic and drinking my tears I fought the current, I fought the tide Nowhere to anchor, nowhere to hide. [Pre-Chorus] My arms are so tired, my spirit is weak. I open my mouth, but I can't even speak. [Chorus] [The "underwater" filter drops - massive, clear, wide-open rock sound] So I’m letting go in the deep end! Letting the water wash over my head! I’m finally sinking to rise up again Letting go of the things that I said! The ocean is quiet, the ocean is deep I’m finally letting myself go to sleep! [Verse 2] [Normal sound remains, driving bassline] The pressure is fading the deeper I go Down in the dark where the coral reefs glow Surrendering all of the control that I craved Realizing now that I don't need to be saved. [Chorus] So I’m letting go in the deep end! Letting the water wash over my head! I’m finally sinking to rise up again Letting go of the things that I said! [Guitar Solo] [An incredibly emotional, soaring guitar solo, Pink Floyd-esque] [Outro] Let it wash over me. I'm floating now. [Fade out with sound of gentle waves]
