Not Waving But Drowning Lyrics

Cover art for Not Waving But Drowning lyrics by I Hate Myself

it says in the liner notes to 10 songs that the poem was the source of the title and first line. i think that's probably where sheer terror got their song title and not waving but drowning got their band name, unless one of these was an homage to to another, but that's just conjecture.

the "water, water, everywhere" part is my favorite part in any song to sing along to, i think.
