The Undertow

Intro

Ooh... ooh...

The city lights are bleeding...

Ooh... ooh...

A dirty mind... thinking of you...

Verse 1

The city lights are bleeding through the cracks in the blinds

A crimson halo painting all the corners of my mind

I try to pray, but the words just turn to rust

Every single promise buried in the dust

You're a phantom in the static of a broken radio

Whispering the secrets that you know I shouldn't know

I lock the door, but you're already inside

There's nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide

Pre-Chorus

You pull... you pull...

You pull me under...

Chorus

You pull me down into the undertow!

A heavy gravity I can't control!

I'm drowning in the things you do!

A dirty mind thinking of you!

You light a match and watch the temple burn!

A lesson that I never wanna learn!

I'm lost inside this blackened hue!

A dirty mind thinking of you!

Verse 2

I trace the outlines of the ghosts upon the wall

I hear your footsteps, but you never really call

It's a communion of the wicked and the weak

The confession that I'm too ashamed to speak

You are the fever that is burning in my veins

The beautiful destruction, the pleasure and the pain

I wear your chains like a crown of jagged thorns

A king of nothing since the day that I was born

Pre-Chorus

You pull... you pull...

You pull me under...

Chorus

You pull me down into the undertow!

A heavy gravity I can't control!

I'm drowning in the things you do!

A dirty mind thinking of you!

You light a match and watch the temple burn!

A lesson that I never wanna learn!

I'm lost inside this blackened hue!

A dirty mind thinking of you!

Bridge

Maybe if I scream your name into the void

I'll shatter all the silence you destroyed

Maybe if I bleed, I'll finally feel clean

Wash away the dirtiest thing I've seen

But the water's turning black, and I can't breathe!

It's not you I'm running from...

It's me!

Breakdown

You pull me down...

Into the undertow...

A heavy gravity...

I can't control...

Final Chorus

You pull me down into the undertow!

A heavy gravity I can't control!

I'm drowning in the things you do!

A dirty mind thinking of you!

You light a match and watch the temple burn!

A lesson that I never wanna learn!

I'm lost inside this blackened hue!

A dirty mind thinking of you!

Outro

A dirty mind...

Just a dirty mind...

Thinking of you...

Ooh... ooh...

Fade to black...
