intro

the water won't remember how to hold its shape

drip drip drip, it slips away

sink sink sink, i almost drowned

i came close enough to know

no, no, no, i'm not destined to drown

verse

fish are flying; they rise up above the street

last year's rain fills both my feet

i don't want to fall in deep

even when the dark runs steep

chorus

i won't drown, i won't disappear

though the water climbs up here

drenched and cold i start to shake

still awake inside this lake

if my words come out askew

i'm still trying to get through to you

verse

i don't want to sleep, but sleep takes hold

my body stretches wide across the cold

the sun breaks in; i cover it with the blanket tight

i'm scared if i let it shine

i'll wake and lose this borrowed time

i see a false light at a tunnel that never ends

a glimmer, it always pretends

a glimpse i can't comprehend

ink bleeds out it stains my skin

i keep remaking the quilt; it crumbles, it's fading

chorus

i won't drown, i won't disappear

though the water climbs up here

drenched and cold i start to shake

still awake inside this lake

if my words come out askew

i'm still trying to get through to you

verse

the mountains are about to collapse

i stand as they witness a mediocre, jumbled up mess

i open up my mouth to speak

and every sentence breaks in pieces

bridge

i listen to you her him

and i take yours hers his

put it together to make mine mine

my mind i cant decipher

can't make interesting lines

but i'm good at holding this disguise

chorus

i won't drown, i won't disappear

though the water climbs up here

drenched and cold i start to shake

still awake inside this lake

your words i take and rearrange

the sound comes out so strange

i can't explain,

the shape i'm in, the shape i make

the water won't keep its shape
