"Shallow" lyrics

I'm treading in the shallow sea
With waves that barely reach my knees
Fingers numb, I hold the air
In a room that isn't even there

The ceiling's low, it starts to bend
As if it knows how I pretend

And I keep drowning
Where the Waters of Ain won't let me in
And I'm kept barely breathing
Hoping someday I'll just let go

I'm dancing in the shallow end
Where the water's cold, but I still pretend
And if I'm sinking just low enough
The world might lose me in the rough

Slipping quiet, fading thin
I am offering you my skin
Just bones wrapped in skin and thread
Lost somewhere between life and death
I paint a face in the window's fog
It stares right back, the hollow dog
Howling with a frozen breath
Trapped beneath a layer of death

And I keep drowning
Where the Waters of Ain won't let me in
And I'm kept barely breathing
Hoping someday I'll just let go

Pull me down, don't let me rise
Leave me where I hide my lies
In the shallow, I pretend
Maybe here, it's bound to end
