-Through the Water

You sicken me
you disgust me
and I don't know where I'd be
without you
 
It's such a lie
so well orchestrated
symphonic mendacity at its finest
the truth was, life by your side
seemed so much more closed to possibility
 
Now I'm running through the water
brackish as it may be
leaving in my wake
the trail of incessant need
'cause now I'm running through the water
and I've washed myself clean
of you
 
Thankless lovers I've had
and I thank you
for all the pain
you engraved on my soul
 
What's behind your eyes
has filtered through
now I see that
I'm here alone
 
And I'm running through the water
whether waterfalls come my way
gonna sink into it slowly
picture me free
'cause now I'm running through the water
drowning in the water
and I've washed myself clean
of you
