In The Shallows Lyrics
Daughter

Lyrics
Let the water rise,
Let the ground crack.
Let me fall inside,
lying on my back
lying on my back
Dry your smoke-stung eyes,
so you can see the light.
staring at the sky
watching stars collide
watching stars collide
If you leave,
When I go...
You'll find me,
When the time comes,
on the last day...
when they start to come down,
will you just,
will you run away?
will you run away?
Let it all rain down,
from the blood stained clouds.
Come out, come out, to the sea my love...
and just,
drown with me...
drown with me...
If you leave,
When I go...
You'll find me,
Lying on my back,
Lying on my back,
watching stars collide.
