Lyrics What the Water Gave Me - Birdeatsbaby

What the Water Gave Me

I drank the beast within
I drank him down so deep
He got so thin
And the the beast within
He learns to swim
And so I cannot win
Drink up, drink in
These things have come to pass
The trees have grown from seeds
They’re planted in my feet
They crack my bones
My spine becomes a branch
To bend, not break
So bend me back again
Again, and then
The life will come to pass
My dull face in the dark
I dared to heal and soon
I soon forgot to feel
The lights were on
But everything was gone
The beast he screams
He begs upon his knees
For me to run
I run into his arms
And I have come to pass
I had to let him out
Just once it was enough
To take the doubt
And turn it into truth
The beast was free
So guilty I will plea
His hands among the stars
Each one will come to pass
The damage caused was great
My love has turned to hate
I beg for death
But sleep will never come
I curse the sun
The beast and I are one
My life has come to pass
My dull face in the dark
My life has come to pass
I run into the dark
