Undertow

[Verse 1]
I got an idea in my head I been kickin' around for days
I been tryin' to make it quit, but it won't go away
Now the girls are gonna hate it when I turn the cameras on
I've been trying to get away from the nightwatchman

[Chorus]
Reason dies, collapsing
Under its own load
If I can't reach you from the shoreline
I'll watch you sink below
Into the undertow
Oh, into the undertow

[Verse 2]
You been stealin' all my children and rapin' them repeatedly
It's not a one-time thing, you do it instinctively
I put landmines in my front yard, and I bought a wicked beast
I put bombs in all your letters to brighten the correspondence

[Chorus]
Reason dies, collapsing
Under its own load
If I can't reach you from the shoreline
I'll watch you sink below
Into the undertow
Oh, into the undertow
Oh!

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna rip out my heart, I'm gonna sew it on my sleeve
I'm gonna preach the Gospel on the corner of the street
I will be pullin' you no punches if I'm up against the ropes
Let me show you all the carnage on the k-k-k-killing floor

[Chorus]
Reason dies, collapsing
Under its own load
If I can't reach you from the shoreline
I'll watch you sink below
Into the undertow
Oh, into the undertow
Oh, into the undertow
Oh, into the undertow
Oh!
