lyrics

When the surface breaks
And the water comes in between
Who will save you
When the surface breaks?

Let it go…

I remember I saw god in an optic
And I asked:
Are you a wave or a particle?
He said:
I am…

…Balanced on the crest of a world winding down
That over which you pass in silence
The absolute noun

But there is a water-wheel
Turning inside
This dam-building

You cannot win against the water

Memory is a reservoir of resonances
And dreams are crystalline
They fall out of the noise
When you could measure the effects
They kept you high and you went running wild
And clean out of daydreams
You cannot win against the water
No the tide has time on its side

I remember I read that life is s-shaped
And from my place on the bell-curve
I turn my back on her
Resounding on the drum of summer

But there is a water-wheel
Turning inside
This damn building
You cannot win against the water

The tide has time on its side

I remember I saw god in an optic
And I asked:
Are you a mirror or a lamp?
He said:

I am

…I am…
