Counterparts - Drown lyrics
[Counterparts - Drown lyrics]
Immerse yourself in the water that
Flows freely from my hands
You’ll find no substance
Just the rain that we use
To simply bathe and disregard
I bless my arteries with blades
And I welcome the sight of
The back of my eyelids
In our most peaceful and remote state
We’re allowed to choose what we want to feel
Mortality is the greatest gift
Given to the living
But a curse to those who
Feel that they’re truly alive
Sentenced to trespass
I should spin towards the north
But your gravity has left
Me alone and I’m left to
Roam as an apparition
Abandoned, I am a phantom limb in search
Of a frame to spread my plague
If the light leaves you blind
Just shut your eyes and embrace the undertow
Let the waves puncture your lungs
In my dreams we drown together
Everything goes black but I can
See you just fine
Condolences flourish and fall upon my
Feet and help pollinate the
Dirt that sit's in the pit of your stomach
I need to shed the idea
Of a lasting impression
Make peace with my spirit breach
Everything goes black and I still
See you in my dreams
Lower your head to sleep and
Let me do the same
I’m confident that we will meet again
Every time you wade in a body of water
I am the light that leaves you blind
But I watched you retreat and cover your eyes
In your rivers I reside
In dreams we drown together
Everything goes black but you will
See me just fine
Flows freely from my hands
You’ll find no substance
Just the rain that we use
To simply bathe and disregard
I bless my arteries with blades
And I welcome the sight of
The back of my eyelids
In our most peaceful and remote state
We’re allowed to choose what we want to feel
Mortality is the greatest gift
Given to the living
But a curse to those who
Feel that they’re truly alive
Sentenced to trespass
I should spin towards the north
But your gravity has left
Me alone and I’m left to
Roam as an apparition
Abandoned, I am a phantom limb in search
Of a frame to spread my plague
If the light leaves you blind
Just shut your eyes and embrace the undertow
Let the waves puncture your lungs
In my dreams we drown together
Everything goes black but I can
See you just fine
Condolences flourish and fall upon my
Feet and help pollinate the
Dirt that sit's in the pit of your stomach
I need to shed the idea
Of a lasting impression
Make peace with my spirit breach
Everything goes black and I still
See you in my dreams
Lower your head to sleep and
Let me do the same
I’m confident that we will meet again
Every time you wade in a body of water
I am the light that leaves you blind
But I watched you retreat and cover your eyes
In your rivers I reside
In dreams we drown together
Everything goes black but you will
See me just fine
