carrie newcomer - below the waves lyrics
v: sometimes i just give up trying
it seems like a lifetime
that i’ve been fighting
it was hard enough
just getting out of bed today
i’d call someone but what on earth
would i even say
v: here in this airless sp-ce
no one to plead your pitiful case
some call this thing the soul of sadness
self-indulgence or a brilliant madness
all i know is i dying for air
ch: swimming just below the waves
i can see the sky
looking darkly through the haze
the moon is drifting by
then someone cuts the anchor
and slowly up i rise
v: an unwelcome guest in your home
that comes to stay and never wants goes
not some much shadow but visitation
a haunting foreign movie with no translation
v: there’s buzzing white noise in my head
then sometimes so silent i’m almost dead
one true thing i hold to dear and fast
is a voice that whispers
“darlin’ this too will p-ss”
even when i’m dying for air
ch: swimming just below the waves
i can see the sky
looking darkly through the haze
the moon is drifting by
then someone cuts the anchor
and slowly up i rise
v: this is just a picture not complaint
making full sentences
has never been my strength
some call this thing the soul of sadness
self-indulgence or a brilliant madness
all i know is i’m dying for air
all i know is i’m dying for air
