[Verse 1]

A slow drip that pulses with haste, succumbing to succulence and waste, torrents of downpour fueling a malaise as the currents overtake the alleyways, pulling me under (hitched)-

[Verse 2]

Slipping and falling below, arms grasping above for purchase, no sight to behold, no vision to see as the water begins, it begins to overtake me, pulling me under and pulling me down (stitched)-

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]

Snaking through the waterways, snaking through the air, is a billowing gust and a torrential thrust as the currents overtake me again (again)-

[Chorus]

Gasping, grasping, lungs collapsing as I feel my body relax, relaxing against the force of unknown, I feel my body tighten as my load it lightens and the waterways, they call for me-

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Waterways, (waterways) that sing my name, such a bitter refrain of disdain, I feel distaste as I can feel my grace begin to lighten at their call, waterways, (waterways) I'm falling beneath you and your song, your tune-

[Post-Chorus]

Is there air out there or has it gone away? Is there hope beside this nightmarish fright? I'm trying my hardest to focus on you, but what can I do, when there's nothing to do, I must be (bewitched)-

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

Deep in the pits of unknown, in the dank depths of me and my soul, I'm undertaking change, a strange new shaking as my body convulses and seizes once more, I've (switched)-

[Verse 4]

Thrusting upwards with force, my limbs contort and distort, I'm trying my damnedest, trying my hardest to relent to the torrents above me, they stop and start my heart (glitched)-

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]

Torrents and torrents, currents and currents!

Again (again)-

[Chorus]

Gasping, grasping, lungs collapsing as I feel my body relax, relaxing against the force of unknown, I feel my body tighten as my load it lightens and the waterways, they call for me!

[Instrumental]

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Waterways, (waterways) that sing my name, such a bitter refrain of disdain, I feel distaste as I can feel my grace begin to lighten at their call, waterways, (waterways) I'm falling beneath you and your song, your tune-

[Post-Chorus]

Is there air out there or has it gone away? Is there hope beside this nightmarish fright? I'm trying my hardest to focus-

[Instrumental]

[Breakdown]

Why am I haunted by the waves that seem to seek me? Why am I chasing these waterways, these waterways which thrust me so? My eyes are blackened, my heart is hardened yet still, I try and I try to fly? Please oh please let me swim-

[Instrumental]
