six feet deep and rising

over six feet deep and rising

this water doesn't flow 

as the rain continues falling 

I'm caught in the undertow 

I am in way over my head now

the pump works way too slow 

no place for it to drain to

no place for it to go 

over six feet deep and rising 

this water doesn't flow 

once more I slip down 

extinguishing the afterglow
