lyrics

I become the father
As I slip under the water
Looking for the purpose
As I slide below the surface
Losing all movement
As my lungs fill with fliud
Dreams are forgotten
As I sink towards the bottom

Then my heart begins to glow
Cause I'm longing to be home
and the surface slips away
and steals the light of day
And I'm breathing for the first time as I go down
I'm breathing for the first time as I drown

The plan goes into motion
At night by the ocean
Thinking of the distance
and my lack of persistence
Waves crash like thunder
They're pulling me under
Dreams are remembered
In the sea in November

And my heart begins to glow
Cause I'm longing to be home
and the surface slips away
and steals the light of day
And I'm breathing for the first time as I go down
I'm breathing for the first time as I drown
