lyrics

it's all about water
it moves in me
trickles down my thighs
runs from my mouth
and i never know when it will
stop
or start

i'm made of this surging
seasick power
washes through me
waves breaking
and i never know if they'll
break
me too

i could never be so fluid
i just capsize
i just
capsize
i just
capsize
i just
(capsize)
and i'm too wet not to drown

i could shatter
like spray
either way i'll
dissolve
and part of me is always
lost
to the air

i could never be so fluid
i just capsize
i just
capsize
i just
capsize
i just
(capsize)
and i'm too wet not to drown
i could never be so fluid
i just capsize
i just
capsize
i just
capsize
i just
(capsize)
and i'm too wet not to drown

it's all about water
it moves in me
trickles down my thighs
runs from my mouth
and i never know when it will
stop
or start
