"Head Underwater" lyrics
"Head Underwater"
I've been wearing all black since the day it started
When I stopped and looked back as my mind departed
I've been losing sleep and I cannot sit still
I'm not the same woman that you were used to
I put my head underwater baby, I threw my clothes away in the trash
I stood barefoot on the blazing concrete, I was waiting for the gut of the thunder
I don't wanna bore you with how I feel,
but when the walls came down, the shit got real
I never thought I would ever be here,
looking out on my life as if there was no there
I messed around with something I always hated
I took a blanket into the bath
Opened my eyes and hallucinated,
I took a nap and woke up in the grass
There's a little bit of magic, everybody has it
There's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass
My own mortality, I contemplated
Down in the valley i got hypnotized
It left a mark that hasn't faded
That's when I realized
There's a little bit of magic, everybody has it
There's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass
There's a little bit of magic, everybody has it
There's a little bit of fight left in the end
I put my head underwater baby, I held my breath until it passed
Crossed my fingers and concentrated
I closed my eyes and I was free at last

You made your way across the floor
And all the little girls...
Lucius - "Right Down The Line" You know I need your love
You've got that hold over me
Long as I've got your love
You know that I'll never leave

I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman...
Brandi Carlile - "Hold Out Your Hand" I run a lot of miles of life and crime
Of mountain climbs and quittin' times
Packing that load of lyin' rhymes
And tired jokes and wooden dimes
I've been everybody's friend, everybody's friend

But wait the babies haven't been born
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups
But in the meantime I've got it hard
Second floor...
St. Vincent - "Digital Witness" Get back, to your seat
Get back, gnashing teeth
Ooh, I want all of your mind
People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window, yeah
