Man Made Lake

(アルバム： Without People - 2020)

I can open up this engine in any direction
I can never get away from the shore
And you can never lose sight of me
Even if I might be
Taking on water
On a man made lake

I used to lie in bed and still feel the motion
Only a stone's throw away
And when I was a kid I
Thought it was the ocean
Now I'm taking on water
On a man made lake

All of the trees beside it
Every rock inside it
Somebody's dad decided where they should go
And when I was a kid, I thought it was the ocean
Now I'm taking on water on a man made lake

I am just a boy I know
Frozen in a picture
What was that smile I made?
I was on a need-to-know basis
And I didn't need to know that
I didn't even know it was a man made lake

I remember you so clearly, driving home from parties
People never said shit in those days
I'm laying in the back seat staring, at the headlights glaring
Moving the opposite way
I am completely safe

All of the trees beside it
Every rock inside it
Somebody's dad decided where they should go
And when I was a kid, I thought it was the ocean
Now I'm taking on water on a man made lake
