Tide takes, tide breaks, never gives back, Drowned my brothers, left me painted black. Every wave is a weight on my spine, But the deeper I sink, the sharper I climb. You drag me down, but I rise again, Spit out the salt, taste the blood in the wind. Waterlogged soul, I curse your name, Tried to drown me, but I fight just the same. I don’t love you, I don’t owe you, But without your pain, what would I grow to? Storm scars, deep bars, I was born in a cage, Every current’s just another test of rage. You beat me breathless, tear at my skin, But the more you resist, the more I dig in. You drag me down, but I rise again, Spit out the salt, taste the blood in the wind. Waterlogged soul, I curse your name, Tried to drown me, but I fight just the same. I don’t love you, I don’t owe you, But without your pain, what would I grow to? Hate’s a hunger, keeps me strong, Every wound a note in the same old song. And I know, yeah, I know you’ll never change… So I won’t either. Waterlogged soul, I wear your chains, Tried to drown me, but I fight just the same. I don’t love you, I don’t owe you, But without your pain, what would I grow to? Waterlogged… war… I don’t love you… But I need you.
