The pressure's a ghost, the surface is miles away
I'm drifting in silence, I'm letting the colors gray
No more screaming for air, no more fighting the tide
I've finally found where the quietest secrets hide
The weight of the crown has sunk to the ocean floor
I'm not the person I was just a moment before

And the light from above is a pale blue thread
The ghosts of the past are finally dead
I'm opening my eyes, I'm losing the fear
Everything's quiet, everything's clear

And I'm waking up underwater
The son of the storm and the ocean's daughter
I'm breathing the blue, I'm breaking the chain
I'm washing away every drop of the pain
I'm not drowning, I'm finally alive
In the deep where the broken and beautiful thrive
(Waking up underwater)

The ruins of the cathedral are drifting in the sand
The glass has been smoothed by the ocean's heavy hand
I don't need the fire, I don't need the Sun
The war with myself is finally won
I'm a king without a kingdom, a soul without a cage
I'm turning the final, salt-soaked page

And the light from above is a pale blue thread
The ghosts of the past are finally dead
I'm opening my eyes, I'm losing the fear
Everything's quiet, everything's clear

And I'm waking up underwater
The son of the storm and the ocean's daughter
I'm breathing the blue, I'm breaking the chain
I'm washing away every drop of the pain
I'm not drowning, I'm finally alive
In the deep where the broken and beautiful thrive
(Waking up underwater)

Let the water in
Let the world begin
I'm not afraid to fall
I'm not afraid of it all
Rise, rise, rise

And I'm waking up underwater
The son of the storm and the ocean's daughter
I'm breathing the blue, I'm breaking the chain
I'm washing away every drop of the pain
I'm not drowning, I'm finally alive
In the deep where the broken and beautiful thrive

Waking up
In the deep
Finally
Asleep
