Lyrics:

Standing by the shoreline
It cannot be ignored
The water will pull you down
It's a price you can’t afford

The wake it looks enticing
Just like to many who come before
Be careful to not be dragged offshore

Now you have a fare
To a boat you cannot board
No, it is not fair
But it was your choice

(It's my folly)
(I'm falling)
(But I chose to hit the ground)

(You can't save me)
(So let me)
(Chose the path that I fall down)

(Bury me)
(In empathy)
(Inside of my box of woe)

(It's nauseating)
(Infuriating)
(Being washed beneath the undertow)

(Through blurred eyes)
(I see false lines)
(The path becomes unclear)

(Tossed about)
(Turned up below)
(Static is all you'll hear)

(My tether)
(Is getting thinner)
(So I grasp or I may fall)

(My father)
(His father)
(We're the same after all)

Following turbulent waters
On the sea below
I'm ready to pull you down
So I'm not alone
You think that they can help you
But they don't care
You're an extra, a copy
You're just a spare

Now you have a fare
To a boat you cannot board
No it is not fair
But it was your choice

(It's my folly)
(I'm falling)
(But I chose to hit the ground)

(You can't save me)
(So let me)
(Chose the path that I fall down)

(Bury me)
(In empathy)
(Inside my box of woe)

(It's nauseating)
(Infuriating)
(Being washed beneath the undertow)

(Through blurred eyes)
(I see false lines)
(The path becomes unclear)

(Tossed about)
(Turned up below)
(Static is all you'll hear)

(My tether)
(Is getting thinner)
(So I grasp or I may fall)

(My father)
(His father)
(We're the same after all)

Wading dark water
Saline is running low
Direction can't be divined
When you're stuck in the undertow
Swimming to break the surface
But ending further below
Now you'll be forgotten
Swept in the undertow

(Wading dark water)
(Saline is running low)
(Direction can't be divined)
(When you're stuck in the undertow)
(Swimming to break the surface)
(But ending further below)
(And now you'll be forgotten)
(Swept in the undertow)
