"Drowning in My Senses" is the third and longest track on Royal Fish. It is a considerable shift in tone from "Forest of Noise" and "How Long," and the lyrics seem to be about depression or overstimulation, because of its paradoxical description of the speaker's sensory abilities and the song's title.

Lyrics

I can see it all but I am blind
I can hear the trees and see the breeze and smell the chimes
I can’t see at all inside my mind
I can taste the feelings that are filling me filling me filling me filling me

And I can’t feel my head right now
I feel empty and strange lost in the sound
Drowning in my senses

I was looking to feel something
But I’m feeling too much and it’s so overwhelming
Drowning in my senses

Looked into the opening of the box
Passed through all the keys and broke the locks and found the paradox
Tested by the limits of my world
What’s a world to someone who can’t keep their wings unfurled

And I can’t feel my bed right now
It’s so empty and strange, and I’m lost in the ground
Drowning in my senses
I was looking to rest again
But I’m thinking too much and I can’t recall when
Drowning in my senses
