[Verse 1]
Born with a scar far above my head
I count the stars crowding my vision
And I feel nothing instead
I feel nothing instead
[Verse 2]
Soak in decay, spoil into loam
Give what I take but it never feels enough
So, I give nothing instead
I give nothing instead
[Chorus]
Take me to the water
I am not free but I am sorry, I am stone
You should know I would never let you down
You should know I would never let you drown

So, I touch nothing instead

Pay what I can but the rest, I have no chance
So, I pay nothing instead
I pay nothing instead
[Chorus]
Take me to the water
I am not free but I am sorry, I am stone
You should know I would never let you down
You should know I would never let you drown
[Bridge]
Take me to the water
Let me soak in slaughter
I will sink into the bed like a stone
Take me to the water
Let me soak in slaughter
I will sink into the bed like a stone
[Chorus]
Take me to the water
I am not free but I am sorry, I am stone
You should know I would never let you down
You should know I would never let you down
You should know I would never let you down
You should know I would never let you drown
