about

The song was written by Chase about his experiences in a psychiatric ward over the course of Spring 2013. The lyrics deal with depression and anxiety and the figurative (and in Chase's case) literal prisons that they can too quickly become.

lyrics

He walks in with blood stains on his t-shirt
Fear beaming out his eyes
With a clenched fist and tight lips, it comes as no surprise
To those that ever loved him, those that ever really cared
Now they're reduced to whispers and blank stares

Keep your head below the waves
You're better off not coming up until the ocean behaves
Keep your head below the waves
You're better off not coming up until the ocean behaves

And though he feels every eye within the room
Burning a hole in the back of his skull
He keeps grip of his secrets
"What have I done? What have I become? What is my contribution to the world?
I could've been so much more"

Keep your head below the waves
You're better off not coming up until the ocean behaves
Keep your head below the waves
You're better off not coming up until the ocean behaves

"Well it's your loss, I was your prophet and you my misguided friends
You let go while I held on but my arm's length is at an end
I could try to say I love you, I dare to go as far as to say that I forgive you
Forgive you"

Keep your head below the waves
You're better off not coming up until the ocean behaves
Keep your head below the waves
You're better off not coming up until the ocean behaves
Keep your head below the waves
You're better off not coming up until the ocean behaves
Keep your head below the waves
You're better off not coming up until the ocean behaves
