lyrics

Submerged at sea
Days and weeks at a time
Ninety-six million pounds
Of steel go swimming by

I see your eyes surveying
In the mirror on the tide
Am I overstating
This need to make it right?

‘Cause I know the reason
Why you hide beneath the waves
I’ll keep on waiting
I’m counting down the days

We spend the air
And waste the words
The mind recites
Though never heard

Goodnight again
To this lonesome crew
Is it over sold
This value in the truth?

‘Cause I couldn’t tell you
Where I learned to swallow knives
Please, can you help me?
I’m all cut up inside

Even if it’s only when you come up for air
