Cultivated - Jon Bryant

It’s a fixation

I’m cultivated now

It’s not what I love

But what you won’t allow

You’re asking for a promise I can’t keep

You like to see me on my knees

Begging for the silence

When you scream

I’m sinking down to the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin' on to the weight of my love

If I let go of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t

Under the surface

The water fills my lungs

This ground I worship

Has swallowed up its young

And you’ll kill for a promise I can’t keep

Just like a game of hide and seek

The secret’s in the silence

When you scream

I’m sinking down to the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin' on to the weight of my love

If I let go of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t

I’m sinking down to the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin' on to the weight of my love

If I let go of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t

The secret’s in the silence

How could I have been so unaware?

The secret’s in the silence

You only tie me down to cut my hair

The secret’s in the silence

Now I’m waking from the silence when you scream

I’m sinking down to the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin' on to the weight of my love

If I let go of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t

I’m sinking down to the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin' on to the weight of my love

If I let go of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t

I’m sinking down to the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin' on to the weight of my love

If I let go of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t

I’m sinking down to the depths of the ocean

I’m hangin' on to the weight of my love

If I let go of it all I could leave

But I know I won’t
