[Verse 1] I’m buried so deep in the wound of the night Only goddesses rise from the blackest light I dissolve inside the shape of my own absence Where the farthest distance tastes like closeness I see the dawn playing hide and seek With shadows crawling over ruined streets Everything breaks me when I breathe Everything cuts underneath my skin [Pre-Chorus] I crossed the bridge of delights alone But the farther I walked, the longer it grew Stretching infinite under dead moon bones Till no horizon could carry me through [Chorus] So let me drown Let me drown In the glittering lake beneath it all Where silence sings without a sound Let me drown Let me drown Everything pulls me under now Everything holds me down [Verse 2] The bridge behind me shrank back to size The second I vanished beneath the tides I tried to finish the road below In the quiet depths nobody knows But the water boiled with violent grace And every current wore my face Everything passes through my veins Everything chains me just the same [Pre-Chorus] I shattered myself on the sand of an island A deserted shore at the edge of the stream Reaching the other side half-awakened Like a ghost escaping out of a dream [Chorus] So let me drown Let me drown In the fever beneath the waves Where broken halos slowly rot Let me drown Let me drown If salvation tastes like poison now Then I don’t want the cure I sought [Bridge] I destroy the purpose The useful, the beginning, the end I poison myself just to heal But addicts who beg for heaven descend How else could this story close? How else could the river choose? On this side of the other side There is only loss to lose [Final Chorus] Let me drown Let me drown Leave me inside the mouth of the deep Where all the dead stars gather round Let me drown Let me drown Everything breaks me open now Everything keeps me bound [Outro] I’m still sinking through the night Still drifting under holy skies And only goddesses remain Watching me disappear again...
