Undertow
Copyright © 2000 Clint Phipps

Taken inside by the undertow
& I'll breath a little more
Knowing and keeping all the while inside
That nothing but this will ever satisfy

The flavor of my mouth spells broken bones
And blood bath so I swallow smiling some
The stars in my eyes are falling down
I'm spinning without turning around

Know I am with you always
I just can't stand the thought of one more day
Know every promise that I made
Will be broken anyway
Yes I guess its better off this way

So take me to this cavern into black
I'd rather die in darkness than with sun upon my back
Woah undertow
Take me to this place I call my home

A while back I watched something slowly slip away
And hatred of myself got carried far away
I found myself standing far above the shore
I jumped for the rocky cavern's undertow and floor

Know I am with you always
I just can't stand the thought of one more day
Know every promise that I made will be broken anyway
Yes I guess its better off this way

So take me to this cavern into black
I'd rather die in darkness than with sun upon my back
Woah undertow
Take me to this place I call my home
