The Blue Depth

Chorus

Salt in my lungs

Kicking hard till my muscles burn

Salt in my lungs

Turning back as the currents churn

Blue depth beneath

Watching shadows pull on my feet

Blue depth beneath

Fear is fast but my heart is fleet

Verse 1

Cool tide

Ripples move like silk against my pale skin

The horizon feels so wide

Looking down where the sun begins to thin

Dark shape sliding deep

Gliding through the canyon floor

Pre-Chorus

Something watching me

Something hungry and cold

Adrenaline starts to surge

I have to break the hold

Chorus

Salt in my lungs

Kicking hard till my muscles burn

Salt in my lungs

Turning back as the currents churn

Blue depth beneath

Watching shadows pull on my feet

Blue depth beneath

Fear is fast but my heart is fleet

Verse 2

Grey fin

Cutting water like a razor on the crest

Panicked spin

Scramble for the safety of the rocky shore

Splash and pull

Fingers claw the limestone edge

Bridge

He missed the strike

He missed the bone

He missed the kill

Lunging for the surf

Missing me completely

Leaving me on the land

Chorus

Salt in my lungs

Kicking hard till my muscles burn

Salt in my lungs

Turning back as the currents churn

Blue depth beneath

Watching shadows pull on my feet

Blue depth beneath

Fear is fast but my heart is fleet

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Saved by the reef

Oh oh

Safety in the sand

Safe at last

Safe at last
