This Water
This water rushes over me;
it submerges my soul.
So cold and unforgiving;
it freezes me to the bone.
This water rushes over me;
it suffocates my life.
So heavy and stifling;
it cuts my air like a knife.
This water rushes over me;
it buries me from above.
So wet and unrelenting;
I'm drowning in your love.
