lyrics

I'm not much of a sailor, I am often sick at sea
And I've been waiting for the current to catch up and carry me
But it's a long, long way to travel, it's a far, far stretch to swim
It's a lot like climbing out from this deep hole that you've crawled in

Drifting without order, further than we thought we'd dare
And I am breathing underwater, can you feel it
Mal de Mer?

I'm not much of a swimmer, but I've kept myself alive
And I would take another dive into your ocean but it's killing me
To breathe in the salt water from your blood into my lungs
It's like poison words that stung as they rolled sweetly off your tongue

Out into the wreckage of a ship in disrepair
And I am dreaming underwater, are you dreaming
Mal de Mer?

Far beneath the surface lights won't guide you as you swim back home
So don't get lost
Far beneath the surface I can't find you, I've tried to
I want you to swim back
I want you to swim back

And how much longer do you think you and I have left?
Well that depends on how much longer you think you can hold your breath

Sinking 'neath the surface, deeper than we thought we'd dare
And I am screaming underwater, can you hear it...?
