Biography:

With a keen grasp on textural and emotive songwriting, Fennell combines bare piano, minimalist synth and string-scapes, and etherial vocals to create the sounds of SYML. Accumulating many previous placements in TV and film with Barcelona, Fennell is no stranger to crafting songs that evoke movement and image when you close your eyes.

[Intro]
C Em Bm
[Verse 1]
C Em
Some ancient call, that I've answered before
C Em Bm
It lives in my walls, and it's under the floor
Am Bm C Em
If this was meant for me, why does it hurt so much?
Am D7 C Em
And if you're not made for me, why did we fall in love?
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em Am
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
[Verse 2]
C Em
A knock at my door, I thought I was alone
C Em Bm
Unaware of what I thought I needed, I drop like a stone
Am Bm C Em
If I'm not mistaken, then I was the last one to know
Am Bm C Em
And if you return for me, I'd never want for more
[Chorus]
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Em C Em
You're dislocated, don't be like that
And you smile when you dive in, like you're never coming back
C Em
So hold my body, yeah, hold my breath
C Em
See your face when I blackout, I'm never coming back
[Post-Chorus]
C Em C Em
Fear of the water, fear of the water
[Instrumental]
Am D7 C Em (x2)
[Outro]
(Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no)

So hold my body, yeah, hold my breath
See your face when I blackout, I'm never coming back
C
(Fear of the water)
Em
You're dislocated, don't be like that
C
And you smile when you dive in, like you're never coming back
(Fear of the water)
Em
So hold my body, yeah, hold my breath
C
See your face when I blackout, I'm never coming back
