Riptide in the Wire (wersja 2)

Verse

Wire cutters clicking in my palm

Saltwater burning under skin

Engine coughing out a dying spark

Radio static where the voices end

Copper taste and salted breath

Nothing left but what we keep

Every port I ever tried to call

Turns to nothing as the current falls

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it drawing close

Riptide pulling every thread

This is how we drown a life

And wake up dead instead

Chorus

Pull me under, pull me down

Let this war tear up the ground

Nothing left to hold onto

Just the wire and nothing but you

We don't float when we fall apart

So let's lose ourselves in the dark

Verse

Last transmission from a stranger's voice

Sinking deeper than I ever chose

Every name that I was never born

Dies with me beneath this salt-water dawn

Concrete pillars, rusted hawsers

Shipwreck skeletons in the fathoms

I don't need a reason anymore

Just this water and an open floor

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it drawing close

Riptide pulling every thread

This is how we drown a life

And wake up dead instead

Chorus

Pull me under, pull me down

Let this war tear up the ground

Nothing left to hold onto

Just the wire and nothing but you

We don't float when we fall apart

So let's lose ourselves in the dark

Bridge

Maybe sinking is the only home

Where my name stops burning like a torch

I'll carry nothing back to the shore

Only this weightless, salt-water chore

Chorus

Pull me under, pull me down

Let this war tear up the ground

Nothing left to hold onto

Just the wire and nothing but you

We don't float when we fall apart

So let's lose ourselves in the dark
