"Drown"

We’re going into water

We’re going straight down

Ice cold, splinters your soul

We’re going to have to drown

Take a deep breath

And be ready when it strikes

Hold your own

And know you did what was right

We look at each other

One last time, it’s so sad

With our bodies, what will drown

Is all the love we ever had

You weep, and I smile

You know I’ll be your guide

I’ll hold you and protect you

And you’ll never have to hide

Remembering your warmth

Makes the cold much less worse

Darling, since it began

We knew this ship was cursed

Hold my hand

Let go when we submerge

You’ll learn to float on your own now

We’re getting on the verge

One last look

And one last smile goodbye

You’re my baby, my lover

I hope we both survive
