"Only Water" lyrics

"Only Water"

Lifeless and lazy
The boundaries are fading
The hounds have all gone crazy
Howling at the breakers
The waves they lap and sway in
Childhood-like elated
Dried out and misshapen
California's shaking

For that holy, holy water
For that holy, holy water

I went down to the river to redirect my heart
I went down to the river to resurrect my body
I went down to the river to wash away this loneliness
This loneliness
This loneliness

Say it, just say it
Forgiven and forsaken
Drive out just to fake it
Childhood like elated
Believers want salvation
They tell you just keep praying

But it's only, only water
But it's only, only water

I went down to the river to redirect my heart
I went down to the river to resurrect my body
I went down to the river to wash away this loneliness

I went down to the river to redirect my heart
I went down to the river to resurrect my body
I went down to the river to wash away this loneliness
This loneliness
This loneliness
This loneliness
This loneliness
