lyrics

it’s not enough to be soft
if you can’t be strong
i don’t want to be mud

if i let it this pain could be the end of me
bubbles floating to the surface as i sleep sink deep
i could wallow in my illness till it has all of me
or pretend that i can run when i am crawling
and this is not what i thought
this is not what i thought

walk down to the water wherever i am living
i will find it it’s not waiting unless there is none flowing
i can tell i’m holding my breath if i haven’t found the water
when i notice this it shows me if i’m gonna find my way back
and so far i have
found home in the silence that the water leaves in my thoughts
not like all the rest of the time when they swarm and hum and burrow
and i’ve found home in assumptions of what people have to hold me
found home in misunderstandings of what i am freely giving
and i’m not there now

move away
rebuild your life it’s like when your childhood pets have all died
and you know it won’t be the same if you go home
oh no it won’t be the same if you go home
