Birdeatsbaby - What The Water Gave Me Lyrics
I drank the beast withinI drank him down so deepHe got so thinAnd then the beast withinHe learns to swimAnd so I cannot winDrink up, drink inThese things have come to passThe trees have grown from seedsThey’re planted in my feetThey crack my bonesMy spine becomes a branchTo bend, not breakSo bend me back again, again, and thenThe life will come to passMy dull face in the darkI dared to heal and soonI soon forgot to feelThe lights were onBut everything was goneThe beast he screamsHe begs upon his knees for me to runI run into his armsAnd I have come to passI had to let him outJust once it was enoughTo take the doubtAnd turn it into truthThe beast was freeSo guilty I will pleaHis hands among the starsEach one will come to passThe damage caused was greatMy love has turned to hateI beg for deathBut sleep will never comeI curse the sunThe beast and I are oneMy life has come to passMy dull face in the darkMy life has come to passI run into the dark
