[Verse 1]
There is a stillness
Like dark water
I hold so many things in
Till my throat turns hard
I watch it gather
Behind my teeth
Every word I bury
Keeps a claw in me
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish that fucking
Would not equate to power over me
I wish it would break
I wish it would leave
[Chorus]
Dark water, dark water
Pulling at my knees
Dark water, dark water
Tell me how to leave
I am defined
In the fire of love
But I have none
I have none
[Verse 2]
Your name hits harder
Than a slammed front door
I keep acting fearless
Then I want you more
The room goes hollow
When you walk away
And I wear the silence
Like a bruise all day
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish that fucking
Would not equate to power over me
I wish it would break
I wish it would leave
[Chorus]
Dark water, dark water
Pulling at my knees
Dark water, dark water
Tell me how to leave
I am defined
In the fire of love
But I have none
I have none
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
If love is a furnace
Then why am I cold
If this is a lesson
I am getting old
I bite through the dark
I bite through the dread
But the thing that I want
Still lives in my head
[Chorus]
Dark water, dark water
Pulling at my knees
Dark water, dark water
Tell me how to leave
I am defined
In the fire of love
But I have none
I have none
[Outro]
Dark water
I have none
Dark water
I have none
