Prepare the diving bell
It's time to take this low again
I sink into myself, low
No need for farewell
Prepare the diving bell
It's time to take this low again
I sink into myself, low
No need for farewell
I know you always understand
[Verse 1]
Sorry there's no place for you inside the solitude
Just stay up here until I'm back again
I swear I'll be there for you
I swear I'll follow through
Stay the course and keep the ship manned
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I was certain if I fell through the bottom
You'd be happy just to float here on your own
I was never quite prepared for the long ride, oh
Away, away, away, alone
[Chorus]
Oh, this wasn't in my plans
Abandoned ship and headed for the sand
Oh, the albatross crash-lands
I've got the sinking feeling that I never can go home
If I stare into the abyss
Will it stare into me?
If I stare into the abyss
Will it stare into me?
If I stare into the abyss
Will it stare into me?
If I stare into the abyss
Will it stare into me?
[Verse 2]
Prepare the diving bell
Maybe for just a spell, again
As far as I can tell
Oh, you knew me too well
I miss you there when I descend
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sorry, there's no place for you inside the solitude
Just stay up here until I'm back again
[Chorus]
Oh, this wasn't in my plans
Abandoned ship and headed for the sand
Oh, the albatross crash-lands
I've got the sinking feeling that I never can go home
If I stare into the abyss
Will it stare into me?
If I stare into the abyss
Will it stare into me?
If I stare into the abyss
Will it stare into me?
If I stare into the abyss
Will it stare into me?
[Verse 3]
In my mind, endless sea
Calling from the bottom, but you don't hear me
Send your line down to me
Meet me on the surface
I will never leave
In my mind, endless sea
Calling from the bottom but you don't hear me
Send your line down to me
Meet me on the surface
I will never leave
Just one time, all I need
Calling from the bottom but you don't hear me
Stuck in time, stuck in me
Broken on the bottom line like a refugee
[Outro]
Wake me when the new day comes
Together we will ride the sun
The future is an empty gun
We ride on to them one-by-one
Wake me when the new day comes
Together we will ride the sun
The future is an empty gun
We ride on to them one-by-one
Wake me when the new day comes
Together we will ride the sun
The future is an empty gun
We ride on to them one-by-one
One-by-one
