Submerged Lyrics

Mystery Submerged

Here comes the storm I can tell I can see the clouds form Like I've seen them So many times before Knowing this I know I'll drown again

It's the light of the city on Before the darkness falls That's how I know the night is coming It comes for me, that's how I know

I didn't ask to be put here Am I just living in fear? As the water surrounds my body Am I left to drown in my tears?

I look up from the bottom No feeling in my mind Far away I can see A light comforting white

How I wish I could reach it Just lift my hand and grab on hold Below, I'm just below Am I just below and will I ever grow old?

I never asked to be put here Am I just living in fear? As the water surrounds my body Am I left to drown in my tears?

Many years I've questioned The innocence of a child Trapped within a little world They just scream, scream, scream To get out...

He bangs his head against the surface hoping Oh! Just hoping for a gasp of air

He struggles, she struggles Till the child reaches the top He's breathing, she's breathing Just hold your breath And this one's gonna take you down far...

I know that it's crazy Do you think I'm lazy? My mind's getting hazy From the flood that surrounds me

Teach me to swim I beg you, I beg you Just one little swim And I'll leave you alone

If the world has taught me one lesson And that's my life beyond any reason And what I don't understand Comes so easily... Easily!

If I take hold of your hand Will it free me? Should I trust once again? While the rain pounds on my brain

I never asked to be put here Am I just living in fear? As the water surrounds my body Am I left to drown in my tears? In my tears?

I feel the wind blowing I see a break in the sky I still cannot reach it And still I don't know why But in some strange way I sense some kind of warmth Like my body has washed ashore

It feels so warm And the truth that I find Is submerged in my mind But the warmth that I feel Is your hand in mine Oh! I can breathe once again Again!
