Lyrics

The Currents

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Roll up another cigarette

Using the minute that it takes

To think about the power of your words

We're living in the currents you create

We're sinking in the pool of your mistakes

So stub it out your podium awaits

Oh my God, my God

I can't quite believe my ears

I'm swimming to the surface

I'm coming up for air

Cause you're making me feel nervous

I need to clear my head

I can't believe my ears

I don't wanna believe my ears

I'm swimming to the surface

I'm coming up for air

How can you think you´re serious?

Do you even know what year it this?

I can't believe the scary points you make

Still living in the currents you create

Still sinking in the pool of your mistakes

Won´t you stop firing up the crazies?

Oh my God, my God

I can't quite believe my ears

I'm swimming to the surface

I'm coming up for air

Cause you're making me feel nervous

I need to clear my head

I can't believe my ears

I don't wanna believe my ears

I'm swimming to the surface

I'm coming up for air

When anybody preaches disunity to pit one of us against the other

You know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives

Oh, I need breath, I need breath

Feel my lungs, let me fill my lungs

Oh, I need breath, I need breath

Feel my lungs, let me fill my lungs

Oh, I need breath, I need breath

Feel my lungs, let me fill my lungs

Oh, I need breath, I need breath

Feel my lungs, let me fill my lungs

I'm swimming to the surface

I'm coming up for air

Cause you're making me feel nervous

I need to clear my head

I can't believe my ears

I don't wanna believe my ears

I'm swimming to the surface

I'm coming up for air
