[ Featuring Medscape, Midsummer Fires ]
I went down under
Knowing I'd need to come up for air
Fluorescent anglerfish
Make a luminous square
Schools of fish, make your wish
What would you wish for?
I've got the bends, and I'm falling from a great depth
As my skull crunches against the sea floor
What what, what would you wish for
To crush me down at the sea floor
What what, what would you wish for
To crush me down at the sea floor
I'm so mad at myself, to let my standards drop so low, to be spotted in the afterglow
To be spotted in the afterglow
Sunlight doesn't go down that far, say goodbye to your planet's star
Bye to your planet's star
Thought I was going to be down here thriving
Turns out I'm just scuba dying
I went down under
Knowing that I wouldn't come back up again
The deep-sea pressure has become my only friend
Flocks of birds, such a lot of words
Talking in circles and saying nothing, but I'm rushing
It's not unheard to be crushed from the inside out, I just never thought it would happen to me, so I shout
What what, what would you wish for
To crush me down at the sea floor
Talking, but saying nothing
Never mind all my rushing
What what, what would you wish for
To crush me down at the sea floor
Talking, but saying nothing
Never mind all my rushing
What what, what would you wish for
To crush me down at the sea floor
Talking, but saying nothing
Never mind all my rushing
What what, what would you wish for
To crush me down at the sea floor
Talking, but saying nothing
Never mind all my rushing
I went down under
Knowing the result of a foregone conclusion
Stuck in my own delusion
Viscera scattered across the water, red mixed in with blue, a purple stew, a fusion
What would you wish for
I turn back again
And I turn back again
I turn back again
I turn back again
And I turn back again
I turn back again
