Lyrics
VERSE 1
She stands twelve feet above the flood◉
She stares, alone across the water◉
The loneliness grows and slowly
Fills her frozen body, sliding downwards◉
One by one her senses die
The memories fade and leave her eyes◉
Still seeing worlds that never were
And one by one, the bright birds leave her
VERSE 2
Starting at the violent sound◉
She tries to turn, but final, noiseless◉
Slips and strikes her soft dark head◉
The water bows, receives her
And drowns her at its ease◉
And drowns her at its ease
[Bridge]
I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you, love
The fleeting shapes, so many years ago◉
So young and beautiful and brave◉
Everything was true, it couldn't be a story◉
I wish it was all true, I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me lifeless, hoping
Breathing like the drowning man◉
Oh, Fuchsia, you leave me breathing like the drowning man◉
OUTRO
Dreaming like the drowning man
Breathing like the drowning man
(Breathing like the drowning man)
(Dreaming like the drowning man)
