Lay my head, under the water Lay my head, under the sea Excuse me sir, am I your daughter? Won't you take me back, take me back and see? There's not a time, for being younger And all my friends, are enemies And if I cried unto my mother No she wasn't there, she wasn't there for me Don't let the water drag you down (Don't let the water drag you down) Don't let the water drag you down Broken lines, across my mirror Show my face, all red and bruised And though I screamed and I screamed, well no one came running
No I wasn't saved, I wasn't safe from you Don't let the water drag you down (Don't let the water drag you down) Don't let the water drag you down Don't let me drown, don't let me drown in the waves, oh I could be found, I could be what you had saved Saved, saved, saved Lay my head, under the water Aloud I pray, for calmer seas And when I wake from this dream, with chains all around me No, I've never been, I've never been free No, I've never been, I've never been free No, I've never been, I've never been free
