Lyrics (Start at 0:04):

Two times in
I’ve been struck dumb by a voice that
Speaks from deep beneath the peerless water

It’s twice as clear as heaven
And twice as loud as reason
It’s deep and rich like silt on a riverbed
Just as neverending

The current’s mouth below me
Opens up around me
Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
It surrounds and drowns and wipes me away
But l’m so comfortable
So comfortable

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
You’re saturating me
How could I let this bring me
Back to my knees?

Third time in
I’ve been baptized by your voice that
Screams from deep beneath the cold black water

And it’s half as high as heaven
And half as clear as reason
It’s cold and and black like silt on a riverbed
Just as neverending

The current’s mouth below me
Opens up around me
Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
It surrounds and drowns and wipes me away
But I’m so comfortable
So comfortable

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
You’re saturating me
How could I let this happen?
Why don’t you kill me?
I am weak and numb and insignificant
How could I let this bring me
Back to my knees?

Euphoria
Euphoria
Euphoria
Euphoria

I’m back down
I’m in the undertow
I’m helpless and I’m awake
I’m in the undertow
I’ll die beneath the undertow
There doesn’t seem no other way
Out of the undertow
