[Intro] Do you… hear that?! That used to be the surface! Now it’s miles above me! I opened my mouth to scream and the deep screamed back! Not silence. A warning. A war inside my lungs. [Verse 1] I keep my eyes on the light, but the light keeps pulling free… Every breath turns sharp and thin, every second tries to sink me… My hands still reach for mercy, but the current knows my name… I feel my thoughts ignite, like ink set into flame… [Pre-Chorus] Something’s wrong… with the quiet… It’s roaring like a war… I can feel my spirit breaking… but I’m fighting more and more… Pull me close… pull me higher… before my soul lets go… I am sinking in the dark… but I’m clawing at the floor… [Chorus] PULL ME THROUGH THE UNDERTOW! I WILL NOT DISAPPEAR BELOW! My body’s burning cold, but my heart still holds control! HOLD ME WHERE THE DARK RUNS DEEP! WHERE THE WATER CAN’T CONSUME MY SLEEP! ALL MY TEARS TURN BLACK SOMEHOW! Ink beneath water! I’M FIGHTING NOW! [Verse 2] Prayers rise like battle cries, then break before they die… The ocean fills my chest, but still I will not die… Panic blooms inside my ribs, like thunder made of knives… My body screams for daylight, and I scream back for life… [Bridge] I am tired… of swallowing oceans… and calling it strength… Tired of sinking quietly… when I was born to break the depth… If I vanish… remember this… I FOUGHT WITH BOTH HANDS… I FOUGHT WITH EVERYTHING I HAD… AND THE WATER STILL HAD NO MERCY… but I DID NOT BOW… [Final Hook] PULL ME THROUGH THE UNDERTOW! I WILL NOT DISAPPEAR BELOW! My body’s burning cold, but my heartbeat ROARS WITH HOLD! HOLD ME WHERE THE DARK RUNS DEEP! WHERE THE WATER DRINKS MY SLEEP! Ink beneath water! I’m breaking through! Ink beneath water! STILL REACHING OUT! [Outro] Do you… hear that? That used to be breathing. Now it’s war. But under everything… my hand still reaches… for the light.
