As Waters

Lyrics

i'm sick and I'm tired of this wheeling and dealing

I'm a real human being with natural feelings

in all of this searching and hiding and sneaking

i never had no idea what i was seeking

why did I put so much bullshit around it

whatever it is i have finally found it

a lost key in the back of a dusty old drawer

that fits only the lock of some forgotten door

maybe it's time i found out what it's for

i think that it's time we got out of this circus

the more we complain the harder they work us

rolled in the undertow caught in the drama

like a scared little baby you cry for your mama

you've a right to be sad but it's cost you too dearly

step out of the darkness and see it all clearly

or can you only see the walls that surround us

the meaningless barriers placed all around us

did you let circumstances define who you are?

as waters engulf us we reach for a star

take me take me home

i surrender i surrender i surrender

take me take me home

i remember, i remember: i surrender

i tried and I tried to make you go my way

I may as well give up and just hit the highway

I might as well have been trying to stop flowers from growing

or stand in a river and stop it from flowing

i still feel the silver connection between us

nothing and no-one can make it demean us

i was pulling and pulling to keep it from snapping

now i'm going to let go and find out what happens

sometimes you just have to start where you are

as waters engulf us we reach for a star

take me take me back

i surrender i surrender i surrender

take me take me home

i remember, i remember: i surrender

why do i do all of this over and over?

I'm rolling in barbed wire, it coulda been clover

nobody else else can save you from drowning

you are far from the shore so stop all your clowning

let go of everything, feel yourself falling

if you're dry on your feet it's much better than crawling

let's all stand up and become who we are

as waters engulf us we reach for a star
