Deep Sea : Deep Shame

[Verse – quiet, tense] Salt in my helmet blood in my teeth Radio whisper Won’t speak back to me Numbers float sideways Blinking red and blue I wave at the darkness It doesn’t wave too [Pre-Chorus – building] I’m not sinking I’m not home I’m not breathing I’m alone [Chorus – loud] Down, down, down Where the light forgets my name Down, down, down Everything looks just the same I’m waving at a planet That don’t know I came Down, down, down Deep-sea, deep shame [Verse – quiet, odd imagery] Fish with no eyelids Watch me drift by Their mouths say nothing But they look like they might The suit feels holy The suit feels wrong Like I’ve been baptized For way too long [Chorus – loud, sharper] Down, down, down Hear my heartbeat hit the wall Down, down, down Like it’s knocking on a vault If I scream underwater Does it count at all?
