I believe right now if I could 
I would swallow you whole 
I would leave only bones and teeth 
We could see what was underneath 
And you would be free then 
 
Once I thought only tears could make us free 
Salt wearing down to the bone 
Like sand against the stone 
Against the shoreline 
 
I am friend to the undertow 
I take you in, I don't let go 
And now I have you 
 
I wanted to learn all the secrets 
From the edge of a knife 
From the point of a needle 
From a diamond 
From a bullet in flight 
I would be free then 
 
I am friend to the undertow 
I take you in, I don't let go 
And now I have you 
 
I wanted to see how it would feel 
To be that sleek 
And instead I find this hunger's 
Made me weak 
 
I believe right now if I could 
I would swallow you whole 
I would leave only bones and teeth 
We could see what was underneath 
And you would be free then 
 
I am friend to the undertow 
I take you in, I don't let go 
And now I have you 
 
I am friend to the undertow 
I take you in, I don't let go 
And now I have you
