Lay my head, under the water
Lay my head, under the sea
Excuse me sir, am I your daughter?
Won't you take me back, take me back and see?

There's not a time, for being younger
And all my friends, are enemies
And if I cried unto my mother
She wasn't there, she wasn't there for me

Broken lines, across my mirror
Show my face, all red and bruised
And I screamed and I screamed, no one came running
No I wasn't safe from you

Don't let the water drag you down
Don't let me drown in the waves

I could be found, I could be what you had saved

Lay my head, under the water
Aloud I pray, for calamities
And when I wake from this dream, with chains all around me
I've never been free
