[Chorus]
I saw the bottom of the ocean
My pores would pour my soul down there
(Kick it up and keep it under)
I'll wait for years until the clouds spin their silk
There's so much blood down here
(Kick it up and await the thunder)
[Verse 1]
(Weight is a pressure)
Weight is a pressure, hold me together
The world is on my back
I'm staring into blackness, oh
(Kick it up and–)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
If there were a creature who'd sail over us, would they see?
Would they see?
The future in blackness above on the edge where I'll be

[Chorus]
I saw the bottom of the ocean
My pores would pour my soul down there
(Kick it up and keep it under)
I'll wait for years until the clouds spin their silk
There's so much blood down here
(Kick it up and await the thunder)
[Verse 2]
Death is a measure, lay me forever
The world is on my back
I'm staring into blackness, oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Weight is a pressure)
Fear how the stillness stares back like it knows what I mean
I fear me
Forgiveness forget will spread evenly over the dead
O'er our death
[Chorus]
I saw the bottom of the ocean
My pores would pour my soul down there
(Kick it up and keep it under)
I'll wait for years until the clouds spin their silk
There's so much blood down here
(Kick it up and await the thunder)
I saw the bottom of the ocean
My pores would pour my soul down there
(Kick it up and keep it under)
I'll wait for years until the clouds spin their silk
There's so much blood down here
[Outro]
(Kick it up and keep it under)
(Kick it up and await the thunder)
