The Waters Rising

I'm drowning in your sorrow
In the belly of your cravings
In the darkness of your despair
I float face down
(You)
Can you take me to the ocean side?
(You)
Can you take me to the water's edge?
See, the devil called me here
Says my name like a story
Holds my blood on the tip of her tongue
She pulls me down into her lust
In the dark
We're glowning
We're clawing
(You)
Can you take me to the ocean side?
(You)
Can you take me to the water's edge?
(Can you)
Can you make these memories come to life?
Make them come to life
(You)
And reveal what's hidden deep inside me?
You gave birth to this longing
Along loins made of stone
The light you have eaten from the sky
Pitch black, bleak and gnawing
(She sees)
She sees everything
(She sees)
Deep inside me
I called to the ocean side
I came to the water's edge
I'm sinking down to where the lights gone out
I'll purge what's hidden inside
Demented and screaming
I have myself to blame
Demented and screaming
I have myself to blame
I'm dying to get anywhere she might be
I'm dying to get anywhere she might be
I called to the ocean side
I came to the water's edge
We're forever, we're forever
We're forever in your despair
Soaking in the aftermath of what we are
Soaking in the aftermath of what we are
I float face down
Waiting to be found
So I float face down
Waiting to be found
To be found
