What The Water Gave Me

I drank the beast within

I drank him down so deep

He got so thin

And then the beast within

He learns to swim

And so i cannot win

Drink up, drink in

These things have come to pass

The trees have grown from seeds

They’re planted in my feet

They crack my bones

My spine becomes a branch

To bend, not break

So bend me back again, again, and then

The life will come to pass

My dull face in the dark

I dared to heal and soon

I soon forgot to feel

The lights were on

But everything was gone

The beast he screams

He begs upon his knees for me to run

I run into his arms

And i have come to pass

I had to let him out

Just once it was enough

To take the doubt

And turn it into truth

The beast was free

So guilty i will plea

His hands among the stars

Each one will come to pass

The damage caused was great

My love has turned to hate

I beg for death

But sleep will never come

I curse the sun

The beast and i are one

My life has come to pass

My dull face in the dark

My life has come to pass

I run into the dark
