Tethered Currents

Two

roads open wide in the dark

Which one leaves a lighter mark?

One steps into a quiet room The other fades in heavy gloom

I'm standing frozen at the

start

I try to hold my breath

But the water's climbing high

(getting warmer now)

And I'm drowning, drowning in the deep end

Pulled to the side that I didn't want to defend Lost my

footing, lost my gravity

Now the dark has got a hold of me

(no, no,

no)

I wanted peace, I wanted light

But the current won this fight

It dragged me down beneath the crest Now there's a pressure on

my chest I didn't choose this,

but I'm here

And I'm drowning, drowning in the deep end Pulled to the side

that I didn't want to defend Lost my footing,

lost my gravity

Now the dark has got a hold of me

(hold of me)

Pulled to the other side... (underneath)
