Drowning

i wonder what it would be like
to live at the bottom of the sea
i can’t forgive
all the lies all the time
all the lovers all the crimes
all the poems all the lives
all the secrets all the wives
all the heavens that can wait
i would rather spend my days
at the bottom of the sea

and if i were drowning
and you found me
floating on the ocean
or washed up on the shore
would you keep the others guessing
would you keep from reminiscing
all the good times we had
in a world gone mad?

chorus:
and if this were a dream
would you gaze down upon me
bleed me with your light
revel in intensity
if this were a fantasy
would you kiss me
and would you miss me
if one day they found me
at the bottom of the sea

would you wonder if i jumped
surround me in your pity
take me to the city
where i was born
there they would bury me
but i would rather be
deep under water at the bottom of the sea

and is this the part
where you feel me
where you kneel me
here at the alter of our despair
how many sacrifices have to be made
