Under the Water Lyrics – Jewel

Under the Water Text

---

Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin', my blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys, so many toys

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become

There's a hole inside my head where all the thoughts break out
Sometimes my flesh is filled with forgetfulness and doubt
It's easy to feel separate, no control of the reigns
Innocence ain't lost, it just needs to be maintained, it needs to be maintained

Beside me are strange fish, moody and dark
A tapestry of intention that maintains the spark
And there's a tiny light, a flicker within
Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend, it knows how to mend

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become

I've decided to hear who we will become
Wanna lay down in the water, go back to where I'm from
Outer space is just a puzzle of stars
Music, the mechanics of the human heart

A post that stirs, a shadow that casts
An insatiable thirst drains a martini glass
There's no place sacred, no honest reflection
Our senses made senseless by a lack of direction

Monks are great with their fists uncurled
But they live in a cave, they know nothin' of the world
I wanna live brave, I wanna love without fear
But it's hard to navigate when I can't even hear

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin', my blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys, there's so many toys

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become

Under the water
My flesh is filled with stars
Under the water
I hear who we really are

Under the water
I lay my burdens down, down, down
Under the water
All resistance drowns

Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Come on, come down, down, down under, go
Go down on and go down under
Under the water
I hear who I'll become

Under the water
I lay my problems down
Under the water
All my resistance drowned
