Drink The Water

(album: Brushfire Fairytales - 2001)

Drink the water, drink it down
This time I know I'm bound
To spit it back up
I didn't want this
Salty substitute, just not gonna do
I need some air, if I'm gonna live through
This experience reminds me of a clock
That just won't tick
I want to wake up
From this concussion
But my dream is just not done
I'm late again
It's just one of those
Bad days, look outside and
Be careful what you ride
You just might find

That you're out of time
To swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home

He's got delusions between his ears
Man, it takes up too much space
And all that tension between his gears, man
He'll never ever leave this place
He's got stones instead of bones
And everybody knows
Uh man, that can make you real real slow
And if Heaven was below
He'd know just where to go
Dive in the ocean
And he'd sink like a stone
And he'd say

It's time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home

Hold on if you can
You're gonna sink faster
Than you can imagine, so hold
Hold on if you can
You're gonna sink faster
Than you can imagine, so hold

It's just time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home
