I believe right now if I could
I would swallow you whole
I would leave only bones and teath
We could see what was underneath
And you could be free then
Once I thought only tears can make us free
Salt wearing down to the bone
Like sand against the stone
Against the shoreline
I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don’t let go
And now I have you
I wanted to learn all the secrets
from the edge of a knife
From the point of a needle
from a diamond
from a bullet in flight
I would be free then
I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don’t let go
And now I have you
I wanted to know how it would feel
to be that sleek
and instead I find this hunger’s
made me weak
I believe right now if I could
I would swallow you whole
I would leave only bones and teath
We could see what was underneath
And you would be free then, free then
I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don’t let go
And now I have you

pihtimus
& kui ma võtan kätte
& olengi see
keda sa ei näe
vahest hiljem avad silmad
siis paiskub tõde sulle näkku
& liblikana tiirlen ma edasi
sa ei tohi seda mulle andestada
kuigi see ei huvitagi mind
ma ei saa sulle kunagi rohkem õnne tuua
sest olen selline
& kunagi purunen vaid mälestuskildudeks
su jalge ette
