"Sounds Of Blue" lyrics

"Sounds Of Blue"

A sort of stoned silence
Sat on that boat floating out
The waters left me open
All my emotions fog my lenses
Trusting in a stranger
There's nowhere to run, enjoy it
It's all about the here and now
Illuminate the darkness

The waves awoke emotive emotions
Whilst resisting this urge to
Breathe as I'm swimming down
Free when I'm sinking down

Last breath in, closed eyes
Nose hold, equalize
Pulling down under, bound
Descending, deep ending
Earth, under, found
Free-dive, amplified
Sounds of blue
Floating particles as it falls clear
Don't look up, don't look down
I might drown into you

The waves awoke emotive emotions
Whilst resisting this urge to
Breathe as I'm swimming down
Free when I'm sinking down

Take it all in to begin with
Don't let it out till the surface
Now with a purpose, I'm ascending
So romantic, this is tantric, oceanic
Up, rising, looking into his framed eyes
No surprise why
We fall in love with these guys
It went deeper than I dared
I went deeper than I cared
I'm out of air

The waves awoke emotive emotions
Whilst resisting this urge to
Breathe as I'm swimming down
Free when I'm sinking down
