Lyrics
The Divine Absence (This Is Water)
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.
River silenced every note
Big shot courage, never known
Divorced from the world
Sinking back into the loam
Petals wilted
Hear the cries
Whispered into ears of stone
And so it goes
I won’t stay buried forever
One can be more than a million
This I swear
I will never say sorry
You’ll thank me when this is over
Of course I memorized the words
Perfections sharpened, they begin!
The flower reaches out for the Sun
And I don’t feel powerful
The rot that hollows out the core
Divines the absence on its own
Death streets paved in gold
I won’t stay buried forever
One can be more than a million
This I swear
I will never say sorry
You’ll thank me when this is over
Begins with a single word
A single note
A single drop of rain
So fragile the moment’s fleeting
The drop of rain evaporates
Hand’s death to the string
The lungs are devoid of breathing
This is water
You know this is water
Million drops together flows
The rivers
Unconditional love
Carved to stone
I won’t stay buried forever
One can be more than a million
This I swear
I will never say sorry
You’ll thank me when this is over
I won’t stay buried forever
One can be more than a million
This I swear
I will never say sorry
You’ll thank me when this is over
