Lyrics:
A peerless depth is where you're at
And I'm still treading water just over your shoulder
A hole in your wall, in your bedroom after all
And I'm still over your shoulder, taking in water
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
We look to the sky but the swallows block the light
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Tread water with me, we can swallow the sea
It's funny how the walls talk
Especially holes in bedroom walls
But they don't need to talk to me
They don't need to come clean
It's okay to pretend these walls are my friends
Their holes have told me more than I care for
Their holes have told me more than I care for
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
The light comes in patches now through the fog and the salt and the clouds
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
I wanted it to come this way so I could quietly slip away
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Tread water with me, we can swallow the sea
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Maybe it's my convict blood?
Maybe it's my convict blood?
Maybe it's our convict blood?
Maybe it's our convict blood?
Maybe it's our convict blood? (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Maybe it's our convict blood? (Tread water with me, we can swallow the sea)
Maybe it's our convict blood? (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Maybe it's our (Tread water with me, we can swallow the sea)
