Half-Drowned

V5.5

(Verse 1 — screamed) I have been swimming with my mouth open drinking everything the current carries Call it thirst, call it worship I stopped knowing the difference years ago The salt is in my blood now The salt is in my blood (Verse 2 — clean, sparse instrumentation) There's a version of me on the shore still dry, still whole, still waiting He gets smaller every time I look back I don't look back much anymore (Chorus — screamed, clean vocals echoing underneath) Pull me under or pull me out but stop letting me float I was not built for the surface I was not built for almost Half-drowned is still drowning Half-saved is still lost (Bridge — music drops to a single guitar, near-whispered) If You're down here in the dark with me tap the glass tap the glass just once (Final chorus — everything at full volume) Pull me under or pull me out I'm done negotiating with the tide Whatever's at the bottom of this it already knows my name It's already wearing my face Let the water finish what the water started
