lyrics

Gonna drown if we don't let the waters flow
So dammed up, we forgot what we've always known
Gonna drown if we don't let the waters flow
I wanna see a mountain weeping like a willow

Took a sip of the sacred spring
She told me the the meaning of everything

said,
"wisdom is a background roll;
your gift is all the things you don't know"

In ways it made no sense at all
But how could I argue with a waterfall?
To be both appalled and enthralled
Is the home I've always longed for


while sweeping the streets of my circulatory system
she reminded me that i've never been a victim
no, i'm a symptom of a kingdom that sipped som poison
i'm the voice in my own head, i'm the voice in everybody's head
i'm a thread connecting water to land
the potter who holds the world in his hands
and the the irrigation, the causation, the current of salvation

(gonna drown if we don't let the waters flow
dammed up, we forgot what we've always known
gonna drown if we don't let the waters flow
I wanna see a mountain weeping like a willow)
