Drag Me Under Slow

[Intro - minimal beat, crackling vinyl, reversed vocal sample] [Verse 1 - breathy, intimate delivery] I've been awake for days or maybe hours Can't tell the difference anymore Your voice sounds better when I'm faded Like static I've been waiting for Watch my hands shake, call it dancing Pretty little tragedy in motion You say my name like a warning But I've always loved the ocean [Chorus - more present vocals, each repetition increasingly distorted/effected] Drag me under slow Drag me under slow Drag me under slow [Verse 2 - detached, observational] Lipstick smeared like evidence Mirror don't recognize my face You're the worst thing I've ever tasted So why do I love the aftertaste Lights blur into constellations Or maybe I'm just seeing things Keep pulling at my loose threads Watch me come apart at the seams [Chorus - heavier, more submerged] Drag me under slow Drag me under slow Drag me under slow [Bridge - stripped to almost nothing, just vocals and reverb] I know what this is (I know what this is) And I want it anyway [long pause, breathing, single synth note building] Pull me all the way down [Final Chorus - beat drops heavy, everything underwater/distorted, vocals pitch-shifted down slightly] Drag me under slow Drag me under slow Drag me under slow Drag me under... [Outro - beat continues, vocals fade to unintelligible waterlogged sounds]
