Sinking beneath the surface In waters of amber clay Each breath a struggle, a burden As light begins to fade away The weight of sorrow pulls me down Into depths I cannot fight My fingers find no purchase here No anchor in the night Sometimes we drown in feelings That we cannot name or face When the earth and water blend as one And we surrender to their embrace The silty waters cloud my eyes As I descend below Into this murky wilderness Where only shadows grow I claw against the nothing But nothing holds me there The struggle only takes my breath In this world of dark despair Sometimes we drown in feelings That we cannot name or face When the earth and water blend as one And we surrender to their embrace Let go, let go The fighting only makes it worse Let go, let go Accept the weight of this earth The water fills my lungs now With soil from the ground In this moment of surrender Is where peace might be found Sometimes we drown in feelings That we cannot name or face When the earth and water blend as one And we surrender to their embrace And sometimes in surrender We find our saving grace
