Salt in My Lungs

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Beneath the surface where the light turns blue I hold the weight of what I never knew A silent ocean pressing on my chest Where drowning is the only way to rest The water freezes as the shadows grow I scream your name into the undertow [Chorus] And the piano weeps a shattered tune A broken requiem beneath the moon Violins scream like wind across the deep Promises that we could never keep Violent tides are tearing me apart Bleeding out within the freezing dark [Verse 2] The metal crashes like a tidal wave Digging a trench to be an open grave A heavy sorrow wrapped in jagged glass Waiting for all the heavy storms to pass You were the anchor dragging me below Now every breath is just a dying slow [Chorus] And the piano weeps a shattered tune A broken requiem beneath the moon Violins scream like wind across the deep Promises that we could never keep Violent tides are tearing me apart Bleeding out within the freezing dark [Guitar Solo] [Aquatic Guitar Sweep] [Bridge] Breathless beneath the pressure of your name We played a brutal and relentless game Choking on words I never got to say As all the color slowly fades to gray Let the water take me down Let the current break my crown [Outro] Fading into the abyss Drowning in your final kiss (Aquatic guitar weeping) (Violins fading in the deep) (Silence)
