Intertwine - Numb

I feel the waves pull my teeth apart
As the water tries to weaken my bones
And fill my veins with salt
I cry out
"Give me the strength I only have in my dreams
Give me a new mouth
I can't make this one speak
Give me a mind that won't get trapped when it thinks"
No one is listening

So the water shuts my mouth again
And takes hold of my bones
Now the tide controls where I walk
What I say
And makes sure I'm alone

The waves that beat against my tongue
Tear out the words that I never learned how to say
Currents caught in my bloodstream try to carry me away
And by the time I turn around I cannot see a thing

I'm lost at sea but I swim
So I won't drown in the deep

I'm crying out for answers no one seems to know
But the questions all get lost inside my throat along the way
Because screaming at the top of my lungs sounds so quiet underwater

And my throat gets torn apart all the same

This ocean that cools your skin
Will be the death of you if you let it in
When you can't trust the movement of your bones
When you are the water flooding your own lungs

Sometimes it spits me out to float at the surface
I struggle to stay above water
Spitting it out of my lungs
Crying out
"What happened?
Why do I tell myself to just walk away?
Why can't I say the words I want to say?
Why do I think I can't learn from my mistakes?
I fucked up"

I'm crying out for answers no one seems to know
But the questions all get lost inside my throat along the way
Because screaming at the top of my lungs sounds so quiet underwater

I'll never let this ocean rip me apart
It will drain from my heart
