Take Me Under

The water watches, waiting for me I search for something different, but nothing has changed Light ripples, they bend, turn to something else The air is heavy, thick with voices I can’t place I know I’m being seen, but not by the sky Something deeper is calling my name And he comes like a fever, like a prayer Golden arms and midnight stare I reach for him, or does he reach for me? Either way, I Don't want to see Take me down, take me under Let the darkness steal my wonder No more girl, I am fire Dancing deep in fate’s desire Say my name, hear me thunder Take me down, take me under Was it fate, or was it longing? Did I call him first, or was I chosen? Soft words, hands that promise something more Not a question, not a warning, just a little shift A doorway, a descent, a quiet understanding Oh I was never meant to stay the same The seasons pass but I remain Queen of something I never named Gold on my tongue, ice in my chest Memory fades, but the feeling stays Can the sun still rise for me? Or is the sky just an echo now? And he comes like a fever, like a prayer Golden arms and midnight stare I reach for him, or does he reach for me? Either way, I Don't want to see Take me down, take me under Let the darkness steal my wonder No more girl, I am fire Dancing deep in fate’s desire Say my name, hear me thunder Take me down, take me under Death, lover, god, a stranger Every name feels like a half-truth What was love and what was longing? What was silence, what was surrender? I stare at the water, but it doesn’t answer Just a shifting reflection, just a shape I don’t recall Take me down, pull me closer I was lost... I was found... No more girl, I am fire Take me down, take me under
