Cannonball

(album: Swimming Static - 2021)

When I'm showing old
That's when I feel alive
It's a drawn-out road
Let it line the eye
When I'm feeling low
That's when I want you bad
I know I'm not alone
Everybody's looking back
Everybody's looking back

Falling in love
It's an animal
Like you've always been
Underneath it all

Skin and scent
Blood and eyes
Teeth on tongue
Love and fight
Let it writhe
Skin and scent
Blood and eyes
Teeth on tongue
Feet running, heart thumping
Breathing wild

Flying like a cannonball
Crashing your way through
Heading off towards
Deep water, deep water
Deep water, deep water

Waiting in the dark
That's when it feels most calm
But it's a subtle spark
Feel the hairs on your arm going

Falling in love
It's an animal
Like you've always been
Underneath it all

Skin and scent
Blood and eyes
Teeth on tongue
Love and fight
Let it writhe
Skin and scent
Blood and eyes
Teeth on tongue
Love and fight
Let it writhe

Let it writhe, let it writhe
Let it writhe, let it writhe
Let it writhe, let it writhe
Rely on, rely on, rely on, rely on you

Flying like a cannonball
Crashing your way through
Heading off towards
Deep water, deep water
Deep water
