[Verse 1] I jumped too far out Didn’t judge the depth right Cold hit my chest And I went blank for a second I kicked back up Saw the surface Then I saw the water under it Moving wrong [Verse 2] At first it’s just flashes Then it’s shapes Then it’s teeth And I finally say it out loud Piranhas. Not one or two. A whole murder of them. Closing fast. [Pre-Chorus] I start swimming hard Not graceful, not smart Just throwing my body forward Trying to make distance But I feel the first bite And my brain turns bright white Like a camera flash That won’t stop [Chorus] There are too many piranhas I can’t cut through the water clean Every kick hits something Every second costs me The sea starts turning red And I know what that means It’s not a warning It’s the end arriving early [Verse 3] They don’t latch like movies They hit and hit and hit Little cuts stacking up Until it stops feeling like cuts My legs start failing Not tired, just wrong Like the signals are late Like the muscles are gone [Pre-Chorus] I try to change direction They’re already there I try to float They climb me anyway I try to breathe Water goes in Panic goes louder Everything else disappears [Chorus] There are too many piranhas And I’m running out of body The red spreads around me Faster than I can think I can feel them at my sides I can feel them under my ribs I don’t want to look down Because I still want to pretend [Bridge] This is the part Where I’m supposed to fight harder But all I can do is shake And keep moving for no reason [Final Chorus] There are too many piranhas I can’t outswim a swarm The ocean goes red And stays red My arms slow down My hands won’t close My head goes quiet And the water keeps chewing
