lyrics

I've thrown my weight against the waves
I've softened my bite.
Strewn across the lake they say
Centuries pass, I'm still broken glass.
Telling long-kneck tales
of whisky, women, and whales.
Crawl soft and slow
but the lake has changed.

I might be easy to handle
but I, too, can break.
Razor blade inside my spine
carve my fate.
The words are the same
but the writing ain't mine, no.
A cloudy wave can fracture what I'm after:
to sink in her depths.
Sands of time rub me bare.
Spare me the storms I'm riding the worm.
The past was then and the future can't be borrowed.
I am now and not tomorrow.

I'll cut your feet on sandy beach,
I'm just out of reach.
Why do all the sands of time
fall apart then organize?
My hue darkens with the weather.
Shifting, drifting like the gulls,
Smashed against your thrusting hulls.
Broken, battered send the rapture
to my rip tide. I got nothing left to hide.
Gasping for water, I'm bitter and bone dry.
