UNDERTOW

Call me claudia 
I can't stand the sound of my own name 
I've covered the mirrors with collages 
To conceal the shame 

The undertow pulls me low 
Ice 
It's ice cold 
I felt Ophelia reaching out 
For my hand oh but she missed 
As the moon gently hissed 
Goddamned undertow 

Soft as sand 
Yet as hard as a wave 
This blood on my hands is here to stay 
Ophelia's doing somersaults on my lawn 
And she wants me to come out and play 

The undertow pulls me low 
Ice 
It's ice cold 
I felt Ophelia reaching out 
For my hand oh but she missed 
As the moon gently hissed 
Goddamned undertow 

The weight of water on the soul 
I'm drowning inside and no-one knows 
It could drown any sign of hope 
Oh but life is such a slippery slope 

The undertow pulls me low 
Ice 
It's ice cold 
I felt Ophelia reaching out 
For my hand oh but she missed 
As the moon gently hissed 
Goddamned undertow
