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
