"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
