UNDERTOW


Call me claudia
I can't stand the sound of my own name
I've covered the mirrors with collages
To conceal the shame

The undertow pulls me low
Ice
It's ice cold
I felt Ophelia reaching out
For my hand oh but she missed
As the moon gently hissed
Goddamned undertow

Soft as sand
Yet as hard as a wave
This blood on my hands is here to stay
Ophelia's doing somersaults on my lawn
And she wants me to come out and play

The undertow pulls me low
Ice
It's ice cold
I felt Ophelia reaching out
For my hand oh but she missed
As the moon gently hissed
Goddamned undertow

The weight of water on the soul
I'm drowning inside and no-one knows
It could drown any sign of hope
Oh but life is such a slippery slope

The undertow pulls me low
Ice
It's ice cold
I felt Ophelia reaching out
For my hand oh but she missed
As the moon gently hissed
Goddamned undertow
