Teddy McGowan - Cold, Dark, Water

In a grey twisting mountain
Being drawn by the sun
Sits a lake still and even
Only stirred by the wake
Of a boy passing through
Just the wake of a boy passing through

And when the trees sing with wind
Or the cliffs all close in
The lake's floor sinks away
And with it sinks the boy
Who forgets how to swim
Just the boy who forgets how to swim

So he sinks
Chasing dirt
In the freezing cold
And he kicks
Off the floor
Of that lake

He shoots up through the pressure
Breaks the surface of light
Takes a deep breath of fresh air
And he thinks that he might just be alright
He might just be alright

But the cliffs twist around him
And the wind still blows cold
He remembers he can't swim
And his body folds
As he watches the sky
Fall apart as the sun starts to cry
And the wind starts to sing a sad song
When it sees that the boy's dead and gone

And he sinks
Yet again
In the wild cold
And his mind filters out with the light
