From the recording The Water You Swim In
Lyrics
My fate is displaced & we're all so far away
Giving chase, to the ghosts of the day
The grip is all you really have
so white your knuckles & hold fast
900 years ain't long enough & it feels like time has given up
When the collective heart's racing & we've burned everything
the smoke will choke the flames & we see the world start again
This hand has a chill touch, there's no more falling in love
when up is all you've given
You're just as dirty as the water you swim in
Harmony is dissonance when there are no more dissidents
Cut the scene, we're breaking free – fire up the light & start again
Every dissent is playing 1 by 1
The melody is shattering, the melody is shattering
into shards of what ceases to be, the stained glass is cracking.
When the collective heart's racing & we've burned everything
the smoke will choke the flames & we see the world start again
This hand has a chill touch, there's no more falling in love
when up is all you've given
You're just as dirty as the water you swim in
It's risen, you're complicit, I'm tripping, you're living, we're giving, giving in
to our nature, moral waivers, we are traitors to our wagers
in danger there's no trust
we are dangerous.
When the collective heart's racing & we've burned everything
the smoke will choke the flames & we see the world start again
This hand has a chill touch, there's no more falling in love
when up is all you've given
You're just as dirty as the water you swim in
