undertow lyrics

I believe right now if I could I would swallow you whole
I would leave only bones and teeth, we could see what was underneath
And you would be free then

Once I thought only tears could make us free
Salt wearing down to the bone like sand against the stone
Against the shoreline

I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you

I wanted to learn all the secrets from the edge of a knife
From the point of a needle from a diamond, from a bullet in flight
I would be free then

I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you

I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you

I wanted to see how it would feel to be that sleek
And instead I find this hunger's made me weak
I believe right now if I could I would swallow you whole
I would leave only bones and teeth we could see what was underneath
And you would be free then, free then

I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you

I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you
