Undertow

Two times that...

I've been struck down by a voice that speaks from deep.

Beneath, here the water is twice as clear as heaven.

Twice as loud as reason.

Even rich like silt on a river bed.

Just as never ending.

Currents mount below me. Opens up around me.

Gestures, beckons, oh, I'll swallow it.

Surrounds and drowns and wipes me away.

It all seems comfortable. So comfortable.

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up and sense [says? search?] your enemy!

How could I let that bring me back to my knees.

Third time and...

I've been baptized by a voice that screams from deep.

Beneath, the cold black water is half as high as heaven.

Half as clear as reason.

Clear and black like silt on a river bed.

Just as never ending.

Currents mount below me. Opens up around me.

Suggests and beckons all while swallowing.

Surrounds and drowns and washes me away.

But I'm so comfortable. Too comfortable.

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! You're saturating me.

How could I let it happen?

Why don't you kill me? I am weak and numb and insignificant.

How could I let that bring me back to my knees?

Euphoria...

I'm back down beneath the undertow.

I'm almost in all the way. I'm in the undertow.

Way down beneath the undertow.

There doesn't seem no other way out of the undertow.

Euphoria...
