Swim Lyrics

I run

And you call

I swim across the water

It falls

I kick

And I crawl

And I run smack into

The wall

Held uptight

It's not fair

I plunge into the water

You're there

A storm

In the calm

Like a switch

Stuck to on

I run at it with scissors

And I clip another page

Dip it in the glue

And build myself a cage

Keeping front and center

Constant stress is all the rage

Rhetoric inventing

Civil cold wars that we wage

A chill

In the air

But still I'm caught

Unaware

And I leave

Turn to go

Push the edges

Stay afloat

But in my

Periphery

I see it circling

Calling to me

So I sink

Holding stones

From people

I don't know

Turn around in circles

Till I don't know up from down

Surround myself in white noise

And tread until I drown

The shore is getting closer

And I don't know where to turn

The tide is coming in

But I swim until it burns
