Instinct For Survival

They say it's a symbol for emotion
Too long I've drowned in both
Cos my feet can't touch the bottom
I’ve been treading water, bound to choke

Only you can see that I'm in trouble
But you stand there like a child
In a trance, in a bubble
And the water running wild

Even at this time of night the ocean
Can stir the languid into prayer
I’m hallucinating with the motion
I can taste that last pure breath of air

Well, the instinct for survival
Should be the one that's kicking in
But the fear and coldness fill me
And I’m falling
I hear the water calling
Calling me in
It’s calling me in

Calling me in
Calling me in
It’s calling me

Oh, I’ve not had so far to travel
Though I’m so long upon this road
As the fairytale starts to unravel
All my world’s bound to explode

Through the light that’s in the distance
It becomes ever more clear
The voices sound inside my head
Feel I’m falling
I hear the water calling
Calling me
It’s calling me
It’s calling me

It’s calling
It’s calling me
Calling me, calling me
It’s calling
It’s calling
Calling me
Calling me, calling me
It’s calling
It’s calling
Calling me, calling me
