[Verse 1]
We rise from the floorboards and convey each sound
We stretched our limbs after a thousand years of sleeping underground
Silent and steadfast, you miss being buried
And now every time we're together you're so much more lonely
And it consumes me
And it consumes me
And it consumes me
And it consumes me
And it consumes me
And it consumes me
[Chorus]
In our efforts to save ourselves we nearly drowned
And we held out every time we were being dragged down
I should know better than to call you mine
But each vein was weathered, subjecting us to the tide
[Verse 2]
Who have we been?
Who have we been?
Who have we been?
Who have we been?
We thought we planted our roots so deep
But we've withered so much since then
Who have we been?
Who have we been?
Who have we been?
Who have we been?
A beautiful place turned to an empty space
And now we have to give in
[Chorus]
In our efforts to save ourselves we nearly drowned
And we held out every time we were being dragged down
I should know better than to call you mine
But each vein was weathered, subjecting us to the tide
