Lyrics for Peace and Tranquility
The night I went under And there was no one around Nothing to swim to Not the sky, not the ground I heard you speak to me And said to, "Just go down" Swept away In peaceful tranquility I wish that I could stay And I keep on waiting For someone to save me I keep waiting for someone to ask me, "What is your name?" Swept away In peaceful tranquility I wish that I could stay I've seen worse before I've had trouble breathing I've had scrapes and scars Healing from lacerations Bending from days on end I get up and walk away Through all the lies I told before Well now, they've all come true Never mind this screaming in the cold And when I caught a glimpse of you You were laughing at me and looking away And I did everything I could To try to get you to stay I pass through dimensions And leaving this plane Turning into the ether It changes everything Swept away In peaceful tranquility I wish that I could stay I can't hear at all I've had trouble speaking Will this heal my heart? Relive the never-ending Bending for days on end I'll get up and walk away
