Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And it's peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Because I am under all
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
But now I am under all
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released
And the arms of the ocean delivered me
And it's over
But I'm going under
No I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in
Slipping underneath
So cold but so sweet
And the arms of the ocean so sweet and so cold
And all this devotion that I never knew at all
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released
And the arms of the ocean delivered me
