Before I Went Under


Detached from emotions
I decided to derail this train.
Determined to let you know
I defy you to take my place on this hellacious track.
Derisive comments will not sway me.
I deeply feel the pain of your judgement.
Detained forever.
My denuded life lies in tatters at my feet.
Delusional, maybe.
Beware the deceptive practices of the trusted.
Their deceit will lead to death.
Debate is useless.
I declare the futility at an end.
Default plan B.
My decay has already begun.

Looking out from underneath, 
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me, 
As before I went under.

And it's peaceful in the deep, 
Cause either way (Cathedral, where) you cannot breathe, 
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under, Oh.

And it's breaking over me, 
A thousand miles down (on)to the sea bed, 
Found the place to rest my head.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me, 
And all this devotion was rushing over (out of) me, 
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me, 
But the arms of the ocean deliver me.

Though the pressure's hard to take, 
It's the only way I can escape, 
It seems a heavy choice to make, 
But now I am under, Oh.

And it's breaking over me, 
A thousand miles down to the sea bed, 
Found the place to rest my head.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me, 
And all this devotion was rushing over (out of) me, 
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me, 
But the arms of the ocean deliver me.

And it's over, 
And I'm going under, 
But I'm not giving up! 
I'm just giving in.

Oh, slipping underneath.
Oh, so cold, but so sweet.
