The water found me in the dark,
Wrapped around my beating heart,
Pulled me farther from the shore,
Than I’ve ever been before.
The moon was trembling on the waves,
Like a light above a grave,
And every breath I tried to steal
Slipped away before it felt real.
I called your name beneath the tide,
But only echoes replied.
I’m drowning in the deep tonight,
Falling out of reach of light,
The ocean keeps what it can take,
And leaves behind the hearts it breaks.
I’m sinking where the silence grows,
Past the places no one knows,
If you hear me, hold on tight—
I’m drowning in the deep tonight.
The current whispers through my bones,
Turning flesh and fear to stone,
Every memory drifts apart,
Like shattered pieces of a star.
The surface fades above my eyes,
A distant patch of silver sky,
And all the words I never said
Float like ghosts around my head.
I reach for something I can’t find,
A hand, a hope, a different time.
I’m drowning in the deep tonight,
Falling out of reach of light,
The ocean keeps what it can take,
And leaves behind the hearts it breaks.
I’m sinking where the silence grows,
Past the places no one knows,
If you hear me, hold on tight—
I’m drowning in the deep tonight.
Maybe the sea remembers all,
Every rise and every fall,
Every dream it pulled below,
Every soul it wouldn’t let go.
I’m drowning in the deep tonight,
But I still see a flicker of light,
Far beyond the waves and rain,
Calling out my name again.
Though the water drags me down,
Though I’m lost without a sound,
I can hear the morning rise—
Breaking through these darkened skies.
No longer trapped beneath the tide,
No longer swallowed by the night,
The sea releases me at last,
And lets me leave the depths behind.
