Cultivated

It’s a fixation

I’m cultivated now

It’s not what I love

But what you won’t allow

Your asking for a promise I can’t keep

You like to see me on my knees

Begging for the silence

When you scream

I’m sinking down

To the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin’ on

To the weight of my love

If I let go

Of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t

Under the surface

The water fills my lungs

This ground I worship

Has swallowed up its young

You’ll kill a promise I can’t keep

Just like a game of hide and seek

The secrets in the silence

When you scream

I’m sinkin’ down

To the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin’ on

To the weight of my love

If I let go

Of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t

I’m sinkin’ down

To the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin’ on

To the weight of my love

If I let go

Of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t

The secrets in the silence

How could I have been so unaware?

The secrets in the silence

You only tie me down to cut my hair

The secrets in the silence

But now I’m waking from the silence, when you scream

I’m sinkin’ down

To the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin’ on

To the weight of my love

If I let go

Of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t

I’m sinkin’ down

To the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin’ on

To the weight of my love

If I let go

Of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t

I’m sinkin’ down

To the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin’ on

To the weight of my love

If I let go

Of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t
