Do your thing. Do your thing with me now. Do your thing. Do your thing with me now. What's my thing? What's my thing? Tell me now. Tell me now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ayy. The heart no longer races when hearing the music play.

Trying to pull up. Seems like time has stopped. Oh, that would be my first death. I've been always afraid of. If this can no longer resonate, no longer make my heart vibrate, then like this may be how I die, my first death. But what if that moment's right now?

Right now. Heartbeat pulsing slow in my ears; bump, bump, bump. Try to flee, but back into the maw I jump, jump, jump. No song affects me anymore. Crying out a silent cry. Ocean with all light silenced shut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My wandering feet held in a rut. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Every noise and sound's been cut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Killing me now. Do you hear me? Yeah. Sinking slowly like in a trance. Nah, nah, nah. Struggle, but it's all ocean floor. Nah, nah. Every moment becomes eternity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Film it now.

Do you hear me? Yeah. Do your thing. Do your thing with me now. Do your thing. Do your thing with me now. What's my thing? What's my thing? Tell me now. Tell me now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Deeper. Yeah, I think I'm going deeper.

I keep losing focus. No, just let go of me. Let my own feet carry me. I'll go in myself. In the deepest depths I saw myself. Slowly, I open my eyes. I'm in my workroom, it's my studio. The waves go...

Darkly, by in a throe. But I'll never get dragged away again. Inside, I saw myself, myself. Heartbeat racing in my ears: bump, bump, bump. Eyes wide open into my forest: jump, jump, jump. Nothing can devour me! I shout out with ferocity.

Ocean, with all light silenced shut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My wandering feet held in a rut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every noise and sound's been cut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Killing me now! Do you hear me? Yeah. Sinking slowly, like in a trance. Nah, nah, nah. Struggle, but it's all ocean floor. Nah, nah.

Every moment becomes eternity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Film it now! Do you hear me? Yeah. Do your thang! Do your thang with me now! Do your thang! Do your thang with me now! What's my thang? What's my thang? Tell me now!
