The Undercurrent

Blinding lights
The dream-like sight
A wall of sound
Tears flowing out, yeah yeah

My life is a movie
This room is my stage, room is my stage
This is a sacrifice
Not a life phase, not a life phase
'Cause I live for the greatness
You can't take my place, can't take my place, no
And when the show is over I'll leave in a haze without a trace

But there's an undercurrent you can't see, can't see
And I gave my all just to stand here, stand here
It's always there and I can't breathe, can't breathe
It's slowly dragging me down, dragging me down

I survived those lonely times but I paid the price
I morphed into what I dreamed about in this lake of fire
A new fight every night
These songs were carved in the blood and the blight
Picture David fighting Goliath with a broken sling
You've got no clue how long I've had to swim

There's an undercurrent you can't see, can't see
And I gave my all just to stand here, stand here
It's always there and I can't breathe, can't breathe
It's slowly dragging me down, dragging me down

It's dragging me down
Ay, yeah
It's dragging me down
It's dragging me down
Yeah, ooh
It's dragging me down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
