Underwater

Black Lab

The ice is struck.
This ship goes down.
How can I not touch you dear and why don’t I drown.
I would slacken my grip.
Sleep a watery sleep.
And dream of your silk skin in the ocean deep.
As it holds you underwater have you suffered enough? 
As it holds you underwater will you give it up? 
Have you suffered enough? have you suffered enough? 
Blind on the inside.
Drunk on the ropes.
Salt water bearing down yeah brackish in my throat.
I told you the truth about me.
This mutinous heart.
The battle’s won I know but the war is lost.
As it holds you underwater will you give it up? 
Have you suffered enough? 
Have you suffered enough and will you give it up? 
I’ll be the one to lay your head down on this golden shrine.
I’ll be the one to breathe your breath when all this lies behind.
As it holds you underwater have you suffered enough?
