Water Leaking, Water Moving |
Water goes not of its choosing |
Waterfalls and water dropping |
Water has no way of stopping |
Water goes down, water went into me, 90% |
But water can’t try, never will, it’s my 10% that fights uphill |
And when I’m dead and the water crawls out, all that 90% falls out |
And all that’s left are the bones that rattle the feet that climbed and |
thoughts that battled |
That’s the part with the gifts and flaws |
The water just obeys nature’s laws |
Just obey and just give in and follow the rest have been |
But I had to fail and go be lonely just to learn I had my own way |
The things I want might just be trouble |
I might be left with only rubble |
But I’ve got too much confidence to only do things that make sense |
When you were young you got good grades |
It always seemed you had it made |
When I was young and people liked me and told me all the things I might be |
But everything was unpredicted, who knows just what might have fixed it? |
And time tries to pass in a torrent but I claw against the current |
Because water’s leaking, water’s moving |
Water goes not of its choosing |
Waterfalls and water dropping |
Water has no way of stopping |
Water goes down, water went into me, 90% |
But water can’t try, never will, it’s my 10% that fights uphill |
And when I’m dead and the water crawls out, all that 90% falls out |
And all that’s left are the bones that rattle the feet that climbed and |
thoughts that battled |
That’s the part with the gifts and flaws |
The water just obeys nature’s laws |
