Open water
Sixteen ton weight over me
Open water
Drowning in the deep blue sea
Hear my calls, god
Hear my calls, now
Get down and hand me some peace
In open water
Vengeance and forgiveness
Mixed up with irony
Merge in the bottom of the sea
In the middle of open water
A man tries to reach for some love
But unless he keeps on believing
Fighting and swimming
Open water will put him to sleep
Holy water
Bless what’s left of my soul
Open water
Has got me way out of control
In the middle of open water
A man tries to reach for some love
But unless he keeps on believing
Fighting and swimming
All this water will kill him
All this water will drown him
All your water will put him to sleep
Hear my calls
Dry my clothes
Save me
