We learned to love beneath the surface
But forgot how to swim, yeah
I saw your shadow in the swell
A monster caught in the undertow
You said, "This is how we're meant to dwell"
Beneath the waves no one has to know
Treading water with a smile
Dreading slaughter for a while
We crash and crash
Pleading got her put on trial
Teach me the art of drowning slowly
I can't hold my breath if I bite my tongue
Keep me close, force out the air
Make my lungs fill up 'til I go numb
And still I drink the salt to feel
To prove the ache in me was real
Your voice still echoes through my chest
Like waves that never let me rest
Ohhhhh
I'm not sure if I forgot or never knew
The worst thing to happen to me was you
Teach me the art of drowning slowly
I can't hold my breath if I bite my tongue
Keep me close, force out the air
Make my lungs fill up 'til I go numb
Hold me under
Hold me under
