Lyrics Water - Karate

Water

Gloves hold you in
Accessorise
Corners of sin
And potential crimes
The colds scolds your chin
Draws some salt from an eye
But even the wind
Can’t get much of a rise
How long will it take you
To want to go home?
How long will it take you
To learn there is none?
You were a sister, a daughter
Just what was your role
In that family now scored
With stitches and holes?
Stitches and holes
Stitches and holes
You got somewhere to be
So you can’t get lost
And you’re filled with a substance
That melts any frost
I want to take you to dinner
But you’d rather hang out at rest stops
Engaging in discourse
Better scratched into desktops
Then your phone rings
It’s just me
How long will it take you
To trust me?
To trust me
I’m coming down to get you
Even though you don’t answer
Because the snow was okay
But the rain is coming faster
Rain is coming faster
Rain is coming faster
Water sinks in
Faster, then thickens
My pockets, my pockets are drinking
Your fingers, my fingers are sinking
Sinking
Water sinks in
Faster, then thickens
My pockets, my pockets are drinking
Your fingers, my fingers are sinking
Water sinks in
Faster, then thickens
My pockets, my pockets are drinking
Your fingers, my fingers are sinking
Sinking
