Undertow

Build it strong, build it wider
Build it where no one will ever find her
Fusing brick and bone
Muscles into stone

Now I've become catacomb walls
All alone, impenetrable

Lo and behold, the undertow
She glided like a tidal flow
Her waves erased the status quo
Forever

Build it strong, build it higher
Build it far above true desire
Heart to motored wheels
Pumping blood and steel

Now I've become skyscraper beams
Towering out of your reach

No one will ever talk me down
No one can ever knock me down

Lo and behold, the undertow
She glided like a tidal flow
We're drowning now, how apropos
Oh no!
