"The Waters" lyrics

"The Waters"

Delve it up 'til it breaks your barricade
Breaches the levy and the sluice gate
And the sail how it bails 'til it chokes up all of your dreams
Looking around for anyone, anyone [-] you can blame
Board it up, just hope that it doesn't rain [-]
Running water, why are you always running away?
You're still holding out for someone
Someone to call out your name
You're still holding out for someone
Someone to take your blame
Nobody came to the funeral in your brain

And I went out and watched the water
Taking back the land I tried to claim
And I stood beside the window
And watched your cradle floating away
Into the night, back into the day
If I was your friend I'd have told you to go

You should go
You should go
You should go
You should go

And I went out and watched the water
Taking back the land I tried to claim
And I stood beside the window
And watched your cradle floating away
Into the night, back into the day
