lyrics

Sink or Swim

You & I this is a hell of a pinky swear
My truth is nobody’s lie
I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid to be there
It’s too soon, too soon to cry

You did bare your knuckles
You did keep your freckles - didn’t you ?
I thought you were alive
Is it a deep sea to dive into ?

Dive into
Deep sea to dive into

Solid, liquid, ether - States are in crisis

You wrote the book but the story is mine
You shouln’t turn these pages
I’m OK, I’m OK, I’m OK to be fine
Been looking for it like for ages

What if you were a box ?
Closed up by so many locks, weren’t you ?
I thought you were tough...
Ocean isn’t wide enough for you

Enough for you
Not wide enough for you

It’s on the tip of your tongue
You’re drowning in dried water
Follow my pace, come along
What do you see years after ?
Come here but keep your distance
Your moon’s between two suns
Just clean with dirt, for instance
And make sure your tomb opens

Come here, come closer
It says it has its free will
For ever and ever after after
Can you tell me if it’s long ?

Now I know
How far to go
I’m on your way
It’s not OK
I should be wasted
I should be damned
Your words are mine I can tell
You can yell

Step aside

Look at my eyes
I’m proud of you
Tell me no lies
And dive into
You’ve never suspected
How tall we are
Soldier, you’re dismissed
You are

Step aside

You and I this is a hell of a story to tell
We got two shoes on each side
I’m in pain, so loud rings the bell
It’s too late, too late to be shy

The seventh face of the dice
Your evil twin’s running after you
I thought you weren't twice
You have to sink or swim, what say you ?

What say you ?
Sink or swim what say you ?

Solid, liquid, ether - States are in crisis
