I Am

(album: How To Start A Fire - 2003)

I am the water, I am waves crashing onto you
I am the blank wave, I am the madness,
the loss, the dark, the hunt, the cage, the race
I am rejection, I am redemption
I am desire for obligation,
I am forever, I could be never if that's what you want.
I am the desert, I am oasis for strength,
the weakness for arguments sake
I am rejection, I am redemption,
I am desire for obligation,

I am one step closer for you
Please tell me when you're through,
'cause I may not be through with you
You're loss to sustain,
but I will remain and true to form.
If this was the last breath I ever took
would you take the time to look,
And would you know? And would you know?
And would you know?

'Cause I am the water, I am waves crashing onto you
You could pretend to be,
but you will kill me when you're through.
