Lazily Drowning

On a sea of untapped leagues
Rocking to and fro I dreamed
Far below there was a monster
Golden finned with confidence
Churns the muddy floor alive
Drowns the voices in the water
Lazily drowning
Ferry me downstream
Lazily drowning
Not a care in the world
In the blink of an hour
Races a lifetime
Lazily drowning
Not a care in the world
Not a caring world
A raft of waves to ride
A torch of ice to lead
Where the currents cool meander
And these strange persuasive tides
Draw me closer still tonight
On my voyage of surrender
Lazily drowning
Ferry me downstream
Lazily drowning
Not a care in the world
Not a caring world
In the blink of an hour
Races a lifetime
Lazily drowning
Not a care in the world
Not a caring world
Onyx slivers catch the light
Still a slave in heaven's eye
But I'm soon to be delivered
For the tales that we've been fed
Only leave ya dumb and deaf
To the gospel of the river
Lazily drowning
Ferry me downstream
Lazily drowning
Not a care in the world
Not a caring world
In the blink of an hour
Races a lifetime
Lazily drowning
Not a care in the world
Not a caring world
Not a care in the world
Not a caring world
No no no
Lazily lazily
Lazily lazily
Lazily drowning
