Metal Water Wood

You found me
You found me
Burning, burning in despair
You said then
I know dear
It has been a brutal year
Take my shattered dreams
Wash them away out with the tide
Take these shattered dreams
These shattered dreams of mine
Wash them away with the tide
Metal water wood
Be like water
You tell me: Be like water
Pull that horizon down
Pull that, pull that horizon down
Line that horizon up
Like the captain does with his instruments
You tell me: Be like water
Metal water wood
I feel like an
Imposter should
As you shape-shift through the earth
You knew me as fire
You have always been
Metal water wood
Be like water
You tell me: Be like water
Pull that horizon down
Pull that, pull that horizon down
Line that horizon up
Like the captain does with his instruments
You tell me: Be like water
Metal water wood
Take my shattered dreams
Wash them away out with the tide
These unwanted pieces
Wash them away out with the tide
Take these shattered dreams
These shattered dreams of mine
Wash them away with the tide
Metal water wood
Metal water wood
How to be like water
Show me
How to be like water
Metal water wood
