Permeate Lyrics

One drop in the bucket, one foot in the grave

Burn a dozen witches for every one we save

Dice cast out before us, rolled back on a wave

Too many moves to give, for every one we take

We can't drink the water

But we can watch it permeate

Seep into the parched ground

Climbing up around our legs

Two halves make a whole, and two wholes make a pair

One solid like a wall, the other barely there

Two hands in their pockets, none left in your own

An expert in division, building broken homes

You fulfill your fears just to say you're right

You contort your words to keep them out of sight

You line up the pieces, you set up the game

Then you stoke the fire so everybody plays

We can't drink the water

But we can watch it permeate

Soak into the parchment

And blur the words 'til they're erased
