Loading...

[intro]
this is a water song, it’s called “undertow”

[verse 1]
i know what i wanted
i know what i wanted
i know how i wanted this to be
you go down to the water
drink down of the water
walk up off the water, leave it be
but this is not my time, brother
it is cold in heaven
and i’m not sprouting wings
[chorus]
i’m drowning me
i’m drowning me

[verse 2]
you see those birds? you know, the birds?
they don’t look to heaven
but they don’t need religion, they can see
you go down to the water
drink down of the water
fly up off the water, leave them be
but this is not my dream, sister
it is cold in heaven
no one’s coming after me

[chorus]
i’m drowning me (breathing ourselves, breathing ourselves)
i’m drowning me (breathing ourselves)

[verse 3]
you know i am tired
cold and bony tired
nothing’s gonna save me, i can see
but i can’t say i’m fearful
i can’t say i’m not afraid
but i am not resisting, i can see
now, i don’t need a heaven
and i don’t need religion
i am in the place where i should be
i am breathing water
i am breathing water
you know a body’s got to breathe
[chorus]
i’m drowning me (breathing ourselves, breathing ourselves)
i’m drowning me (breathing ourselves, breathing ourselves)
i’m drowning me (breathing ourselves, breathing ourselves)
i’m drowning me (breathing ourselves)
