Dead In The Water

[Refrain: Rou Reynolds]

Everything's so-so-so-so futile, futile

I can hear the waves rolling in

I can feel the walls closing in

Everything's so-so-so-so futile, futile

I can hear the waves rolling in

[Verse 1: Rou Reynolds]

No there won't be bluebirds over

'Cause they got turned back at Dover

I'm on a tight rope, and there's no hope

I don't seem to be getting any closer

[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds]

Running away from home, running from all I know

It's not the cold that makes me shiver

It's the erasure of my soul

[Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Rory Clewlow]

Dead, dead in the water

No one's here fighting my corner

Dead, dead in the water

In the water

[Refrain: Rou Reynolds]

Everything's so-so-so-so futile, futile

I can hear the waves rolling in

I can feel the walls closing in

Everything's so-so-so-so futile, futile

I can hear the waves rolling in

[Verse 2: Rou Reynolds]

We locked up all the lifeguards

And seas turn into graveyards

'Cause life guards wealth, and wealth guards life

Then there's only strife for the seeker of a new life

[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds]

Running away from home, running from all I know

It's not the cold that makes me shiver

It's the erosion of my soul

[Chorus: Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten, Rou Reynolds & Rory Clewlow]

Dead, dead in the water

No one's here fighting my corner

Dead, dead in the water

In the water

[Bridge: Rou Reynolds]

Dead, dead in the water

No one's here fighting my corner

Dead, dead in the water

[Refrain: Rory Clewlow, Rou Reynolds ]

Everything's so-so-so-so futile, futile

Everything's so-so-so-so

[Bridge: Rou Reynolds, Rory Clewlow]

Make me disappear

Dead

In the water

[Chorus: Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten]

Dead, dead in the water

No one's here fighting my corner

Dead, dead in the water

[Post-Chorus: Rou Reynolds]

No one's here, no one's here

No one's here

[Outro: Rory Clewlow]

(In the water, in the water, in the water)
