"Something In The Water" lyrics

A sickness bloomed without disease
It settled deep in roots and trees
The warmth died first then color left
Still we swore we had been blessed

No one speaks, they just comply
Choking on silence sold as pride
They choke on silence that's sold as pride
Till human decency dies

I think there's something in the water
It's crawling up our spine
Stained beneath the surface
It drains us over time
Ash rains slow and nothing follows
We let it grow to feed our sorrows
I think there's something in the water
We drink it down and drown in lies

They paved our past with silver tongues
Empty thrones, their gold gone sour
The silence here is weaponized
Aimed at the hearts of cowards

This isn't fear, it's something worse
A dire thirst that floods our veins
Swallow it down and fade away
Bury ourselves beneath the pain

Lightless, lifeless, bleeding dry
Built by wolves that wear our ties
Voices shaking, hearts of lead
Yet we smile like we're not already dead

The weight of all that's left unsaid
It pulls me under

I think there's something in the water
It's crawling up our spine
Stained beneath the surface
It drains us over time
Ash rains slow and nothing follows
We let it grow to feed our sorrows
I think there's something in the water
We drink it down and drown in lies
