Tool - Undertow lyrics

rate me

Two times and

I've been struck dumb by a voice that

speaks from deep beneath the *endless* water and

It's twice as clear as heaven,

And twice as loud as reason.

It's deep and rich like silt on a riverbed

And just as neverending.

The current's mouth below me

Opens up around me.

Suggests and beckons all while swallowing.

It surrounds and drowns and helps me away.

But I'm too comfortable...so comfortable.

Shut up shut up shut up shut up

You're saturating me

How could I let

This bring me back to my knees

Third time and

I've been baptized by a voice.

It screams from deep beneath the cold, black water and

It's half as high as heaven

And half as clear as reason.

It's cold and and black like silt on the riverbed.

And just as neverending.

The current's mouth below me

Opens up around me.

Suggests and beckons all while swallowing.

It surrounds and drowns and helps me away.

But I'm too comfortable...so comfortable.

Shut up shut up shut up shut up

You're saturating me

So how could I let this happen

Why don't you kill me,

I'm weak and numb and insignificant,

So how could I let

This bring me back to my knees

We fall in a

Euphoria

We fall in a

Euphoria

I'm back down. I'm in the undertow.

I'm helpless and I'm awake in the undertow.

I'll die within your undertow.

It seems there's no other way out of this undertow.

Euphoria.
