Depth Charge

(Verse 1) Call me when the levees break and the sky turns grey When the weight of living drags you further away When the future’s a ruin, a promise undone And the light feels like a sentence, not a rising sun It’s easier to drift than to fight the tide So pull me under, let the currents decide (Chorus) So drown me in the midnight, let the pressure heal Crush the bones of memory, make the silence real Wash me like a tsunami, scour the stain from my hands Anything to feel nothing, anything to understand Let the ocean floor become my bed Anything to get me to sleep instead (Verse 2) I wake to faces, cold and far Like distant stars, a guiding scar They speak of wounds and what I’ve done A pain they name, but don’t become They weep like stone, a frozen rite While I’m the sand, dissolving in the night (Chorus) So drown me in the midnight, let the pressure heal Crush the bones of memory, make the silence real Wash me like a tsunami, scour the stain from my hands Anything to feel nothing, anything to understand Let the ocean floor become my bed Anything to get me to sleep instead (Outro) Don’t wake me... Don’t wake me... Don’t wake me up... Let me sleep...
