Surface Tension

[Intro]
[Verse]
Silent towers in the deep
Secrets that the currents keep
Cold iron and broken glass
Watching the centuries pass
Mosaic floors of sapphire blue
Fading from a world I knew
Ghostly halls of ancient stone
I am diving all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Every pulse is a sign
Leaving the dark behind
Heartbeat like a heavy drum
Waiting for the light to come
[Chorus]
Break through the heavy tide
Nowhere left to hide
Silver light begins to glow
Leaving what I know
Rise to the golden sun
Now the race is won
Surface tension starts to break
Everything is mine to take
[Post-Chorus]
Rising from the gray
Into the light of day
Higher than the waves
Out of the water graves
[Verse]
Letters floating in the salt
Time has come to a halt
Ink is bleeding on the page
Freedom from the liquid cage
Echoes of a city street
Tangled in the coral sheet
Diamond dust upon the sand
Reaching for the upper land
[Pre-Chorus]
Every pulse is a sign
Leaving the dark behind
Heartbeat like a heavy drum
Waiting for the light to come
[Chorus]
Break through the heavy tide
Nowhere left to hide
Silver light begins to glow
Leaving what I know
Rise to the golden sun
Now the race is won
Surface tension starts to break
Everything is mine to take
[Bridge]
Lungs are burning for the air
Pressure follows everywhere
Crushing weight of every stone
I am rising on my own
Gravity is losing hold
Turning all the lead to gold
One more push against the deep
Promises I have to keep
[Chorus]
Break through the heavy tide
Nowhere left to hide
Silver light begins to glow
Leaving what I know
Rise to the golden sun
Now the race is won
Surface tension starts to break
Everything is mine to take
[Post-Chorus]
Rising from the gray
Into the light of day
Higher than the waves
Out of the water graves
[Outro]
