Cold Water Lyrics - Protest The Hero

Twisting through contorted limb 

Sober now from distant whim 

Batten down the hatches 

The storm approaches, the thunder crashes 

It cannot wait 

It must be now 

A shot's been fired across the bow 

What presence here has been proclaimed? 

What once was unspoken is finally named 

So this is sinking, or so it seems 

Diving fathoms in lucid dreams 

With lungs now aching, begging for air 

And only cold water answers 

With a cinder block anchor, hope turns to despair 

Ripped from the womb and left to the ocean's care 

Cold water 

So just sink, let go, slip into the depths 

Let the pieces of a wasted life slip past the fingertips 

Rejoice, exult, a fitting conclusion to a melancholy myth 

A grave at sea, an absentee, whose presence won't be missed 

Picking at the bones that came to rest on the ocean bed 

Whose subtle pose tells a tale of those that sink like lead 

Summon the ire left hanging in moments that swings by the neck to and fro. 

Assured by the light that there's one way to go
