I believe right now if I could
  I would swallow you whole
  I would leave only bones and teeth
  We could see what was underneath
  And you would be free then
    Once I thought only tears could 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 see 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 teeth
  We could see what was underneath
  And you 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 am friend to the undertow
  I take you in, I don't let go
  And now I have you
