Undertow

I believe right now if I could I would swallow you whole I would leave only bones and teeth We could see what was underneath And you would be free then Once I thought only tears could make us free Salt wearing down to the bone Like sand against the stone Against the shoreline I am friend to the undertow I take you in, I don't let go And now I have you I wanted to learn all the secrets From the edge of a knife From the point of a needle From a diamond From a bullet in flight I would be free then I am friend to the undertow I take you in, I don't let go And now I have you I wanted to see how it would feel To be that sleek And instead I find this hunger's Made me weak I believe right now if I could I would swallow you whole I would leave only bones and teeth We could see what was underneath And you would be free then I am friend to the undertow I take you in, I don't let go And now I have you I am friend to the undertow I take you in, I don't let go And now I have you
