Lay my head, under the water

Lay my head, under the sea

Excuse me sir, am I your daughter?

Won't you take me back, take me back and see?

There's not a time, for being younger

And all my friends, are enemies

And if I cried unto my mother

No she wasn't there, she wasn't there for me

Don't let the water drag you down (don't let the water drag you down)

Don't let the water drag you down

Broken lines, across my mirror

Show my face, all red and bruised

And though I screamed and I screamed, well, no one came running

No I wasn't saved, I wasn't safe from you

Don't let the water drag you down (don't let the water drag you down)

Don't let the water drag you down

Don't let me drown, don't let me drown in the waves, oh

I could be found, I could be what you had saved

Saved, saved, saved

[Musical break]

Lay my head, under the water

Aloud I pray, for calmer seas

And when I wake from this dream, with chains all around me

No, I've never been, I've never been free

No, I've never been, I've never been free

No, I've never been, I've never been free
