about
A song about having an awareness of one's own depression and subsequent recoil to isolation, under the assumption that it would be better to be unseen out of consideration for others and their safety.
lyrics
When you wake up, underwater
Breathe it in, breathe it in
It's been days now, underwater
Let me in, let the sinking begin
'cause there's blood
There's fingers to the bone
and you leave me, leave me alone
Bottom of the sea, the sonar
my only company, repeating to me
And I swear I saw a ghost, the other side of the coast
Fishing the sky, never asked why
'cause there's blood
There's fingers to the bone
and you leave me, leave me alone
In these boxes made of tin
with numbers on our skin
The sea is our sky, the sea is our sky
Through the scope you'll find
that I just don't have the time
Take it deep, take it slow
we ride faster all for show
How's your life above sea?
How's your life without me?
This vessel is dying slowly
This water is far from holy

This album has been on loop since I first heard it in a friend's car. I bought it the second I got home and haven't stopped listening since. Catchy, moreish and addictive, Pat
Angry, angsty and amazing! I just wish postage to the UK wasn't so insanely expensive* because I want the vinyl so, so much!
*obviously I know this isn't the groups fault. stu_h
