I'm Taking On Water

"I am the deck, you are the sea...
I am the light on the water, and you are moving underneath
I am the rail, you are the sea... 
I don’t know what I'm even looking at,
don't know if it's even happening...

Higher than the moon, deeper than the seas
All above the truth, people of the keys

Enemies remorse
Hero savagery
Infinitely dark, zero gravity

Welcome your despair, but develop hope
Sharpen up your blade, cut the devils throat
Look it in the eye, wonder what it is
Fire in the sky, and on the water wind

Turning of the tides, learning of the why's
Burning of the eyes, yearning of the cries
Save the second five drifters and the slaves,
Listen to the rain, whispers of the waves

Calling of the stars, elegant eclipse
voices of the ghosts, skeletons of ships
Digging deeper down, crawling out above
Shifting of the sands, falling out of love.

it doesn’t take much...
it doesn’t take much...
to ruin a moment like this...

Feed me your agonies, your riches and voices
Trespass against me, and offer me choices 
Stronger than fire, the cancer is slow
Your tears are like mine,
But the answer is no.

Feed me your agonies, your riches and voices
Trespass against me, and offer me choices 
Stronger than fire, the cancer is slow
Your tears are like mine,
But the answer is no.

Nothingness of days, preachers of the sleep
Diamonds on the surface, creatures of the deep
Forbidden is the truth, permission to believe
Reaching out for hope, fishermen and thieves

Ruining the future, dealing with the past
Deeper than the floor, ceiling made of glass
Merciless and cold, miserable and moved
Blind onto the eye, invisible and blue

Cursing at the sun, yielded my advice
Open to the air, show the body ice
All we do is wait, used to do it all
Rhythm of your blood, music through a wall

Lovers without hope, strangers without things
Bodies without spirits, angels without wings
Start of something else, finality of breath
Origin of life, and melody of death

They cursed your name... 
(they cursed my name, burst into flame)
whisper please, please, please
(whispering their pleas, different degrees)
people can be so mean... 
they call you the drowning machine.

I am the screw... 
(screw that only turn, still it only burns)
You are the sea...
(yes I am the sea, lesson in the key)
I don't know if it's me who is moving through you, or you through me

I am the bridge...
(bridges and spillways, all ablaze)
you are the sea...
(yes I am the sea, lesson in the key)
I am taking on water, and you just kept on battering me.

Feed me your agonies, your riches and voices
Trespass against me, and offer me choices 
Stronger than fire, the cancer is slow
Your tears are like mine,
But the answer is no.

They cursed your name...
whisper please, please, please
people can be so mean...
they call you the drowning machine."
