Water Rising

It’s been a long time comin’
Spent my whole life runnin’
After you

It’s been a long time comin’
Still I find myself runnin’
What can I do?

Dive head first
Don’t look back
What can I do?

See I was lookin for salvation
Not religion or a nation
Where should I go?

Yes, I was looking for salvation
Somewhere found in deep frustration
Some place below

Dive head first
Don’t look back now

SOMEHOW I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
TO TURN THE KEY, UNLOCK THE DOOR
BUT THE WATER RISES FROM THE GROUND
I HOLD MY BREATH, BEGIN TO DROWN
AND I CANNOT HAVE YOU FOLLOW ME
JUST HOLD IT IN YOUR MEMORY
IT’S FARTHER THAN I CARE TO KNOW
THE EARTH IS SHAKING FAR BELOW

Can you keep me from breaking
Cause these hands are still shaking
I did not know

Would you keep me from breaking
This life that I’m making
I’ve blood to show

I dove head first
Singing, “Don’t look back”

SOMEHOW I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
TO TURN THE KEY, UNLOCK THE DOOR
BUT THE WATER RISES FROM THE GROUND
I HOLD MY BREATH, BEGIN TO DROWN
AND I CANNOT HAVE YOU FOLLOW ME
JUST HOLD IT IN YOUR MEMORY
IT’S FARTHER THAN I CARE TO KNOW
THE EARTH IS SHAKING FAR BELOW

Would you come try to find me?
And remind me
Of where I’ve been

Would you please come and break me?
When I sleep, come and wake me
I must begin

To dive head first
Don’t look back now

SOMEHOW I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
TO TURN THE KEY, UNLOCK THE DOOR
BUT THE WATER RISES FROM THE GROUND
I HOLD MY BREATH, BEGIN TO DROWN
AND I CANNOT HAVE YOU FOLLOW ME
JUST HOLD IT IN YOUR MEMORY
IT’S FARTHER THAN I CARE TO KNOW
THE EARTH IS SHAKING FAR BELOW
