Under the Water

Whispers on the surface, voices in his head As he lays down to sleep, he's waking up the dead He wishes he could drown them, so they would finally stop But underneath the water, he lays between the drops Under the water Under the water Playing twenty questions, a kid inside a car When will we get there, how could it go this far? He didn't know the end game, was actually so near Even though he's very young, his destination's clear Under the water Under the water Under the water Floating water down Filters out all sound Fighting he will end When the water's holding him Kids are signing year books, then they write him off Doctors measure potions, then they want to talk Slowly he is drifting, like a soul that can't be saved Looking up from down below, he sinks beneath the waves Under the water Under the water Under the water Under the water
