I am slowing down
As the years go by
I am sinking
So I trick myself
Like everybody else
The secrets I hide
Twist me inside
They make me weaker
So I trick myself
Like everybody else
I crouch in fear and wait
I′ll never feel again
If only I could remember
Anything at all
No one around you for miles
You′re thinkin′ of drinkin′ on water
While you′re sailing the Nile
No one to stop you on your way
Flyin′ by goes a stork
You decide to bring your oars in now
But accidently knock out the cork
Row your boat to shore
′Cause it is leaking and you′re still drinking
Unless you cork the hole
You won′t be sailing, you′ll be sinking
Not knowin′ you′re sinkin′
You take out a bottle of rum - yum
Swiggin′ a drink to the bottom
The bottle reads ′Van Monchinghum′
Oars back into the water
You think you′ll sail on
But you can′t ′cause your boat contains
Three and a half gallons
Row your boat to shore
′Cause it is leaking and you′re still drinking
Unless you cork the hole
You won′t be sailing, you′ll be sinking
Row your boat to shore
′Cause it is leaking and you′re still drinking
Unless you cork the hole
You won′t be sailing, you′ll be sinking
Row, row, row your boat
And sail your ship to shore
You′re barely, barely, barely keeping afloat
Well I hope that you won′t drink no more
Row your boat to shore
It is leaking and you′re still drinking
Unless you cork the hole
You won′t be sailing, you′ll be sinking
Row, row, row your boat
And sail your ship to shore
You′re barely, barely, barely keeping afloat
Well I hope that you won′t drink no more
Row, row, row your boat
And sail your ship to shore (row row row your
boat)
You′re barely, barely, barely keeping afloat
(you′re barely barely barely)
Well I hope that you won′t drink no more
Row, row, row your boat
And sail your ship to shore (row row row your
boat)
You′re barely, barely, barely keeping afloat
(you′re barely barely barely)
Well I hope that you won′t drink no more
The X-ray is on
They see through my mind
And I can hear you say stop
(Why?... Why?...)
Their T.V. is wrong
My feelings are backwards
And I can hear you say stop
(Why?... Why?...)
Why do I think I′m sinking?
(Why?... Why?...)
Why do I think I′m losing?
I′m a beautiful girl you cannot solve
And I haven′t figured out myself
A beautiful girl you cannot hold
You won′t make the picture clear
You won′t find a reason why
I′m here
It′s taking too long
For you to detect me
I can still hear you say stop
(Why?... Why?...)
Why do I think I′m sinking?
(Why?... Why?...)
Why do I think I′m losing?
I′m a beautiful girl you cannot solve
It′s time that I figure out myself
A beautiful girl you cannot hold
Getting hard to understand
The frequency is breaking up
Think I′m underneath her now
The walls are closing in on everything
Tied up in your body cables
Swimming in all your fluid motions
Baby lotion rubbed in my mind just one more time
Just one more time
Just one more time
You won′t see through my mind any more
So cold... so cold... yeah
Won′t flow... won′t flow... yeah
On hold... on hold... yeah
I won′t go... won′t go... yeah
The great wall that stands between the lost and the seen and the lies we let sink in.
What is this? We′ve broken the trust of a fallen man. So quick to pick you up but quicker to put you
down. No actions have been thought through by the both of us now. Can we wait to see if they ever
understand.
I am the words when you are silent. I am the comfort when you′re gone. I am the thought behind your
actions. I′m on the end of your last breath.
I can be whoever you want me to. I can be...
I won′t compromise this time. You can′t take what′s mine.
Give in now, I can never forget the things you said. I′ll look to where I′m known the most for my
escape. They won′t stop buying your smile they wont stop they wont stop.
I am the words when you are silent. I am the comfort when you′re gone. I am the thought behind your
actions. I′m on the end of your last breath.
I can be whoever you want me to. I can be...
Your eyes can wait, what do they want to see? If I walk away from everything would that be it? You
caught me living my life as someone else.I am the words when you are silent. I am the comfort when
you′re gone. I am the thought behind your actions. I′m on the end of your last breath
