While I lay beneath the river’s flow
Tired of the air, tired of the breathing
Tired of the ground, tired of the crowds
Tired of the feasts and all the feeding
I find myself back on the surface
And everything is red and black
It smells like blood but tastes like water
It enters my body and I go with the flow
Even though I’m floating
I feel as if I’m drowning
And even though I’m drowning
I finally feel free, I finally feel free
Asleep and dreaming of the warmth in you
Tired of the cold, tired of the blood stains
Tired of the scars, tired of the knives
Tired of the feasts and all the feeding
I find myself back on the surface
And everything is red and black
It smells like blood but tastes like water
It enters my body and I go with the flow
Even though I’m floating
I feel as if I’m drowning
And even though I’m drowning
I finally feel free, I finally feel free
No need to speak
No need to breathe
No need to pray
No need to get away
Even though I’m floating
I feel as if I’m drowning
And even though I’m drowning
I finally feel free, I finally feel free
