High Water

For the time being I will still avoid my own questions And we both bury that history deep But you know I can hold my breath forever For the time being You are still a perfect reminder of what All of these scars on my arms are for If I can hold myself together And I choke myself on sacred vapour Waiting on some holy favour Basking in the solace of regret And it seems my hell is your high water Wash me clean again before I pull myself beneath the waves When the mouth of infinity Buries its teeth in me I'll smile through the agony for you And I know you still bear the weight of your own existence And you'll never bear the weight of two And I choke myself on sacred vapour Waiting on some holy favour Basking in the solace of regret And it seems my hell is your high water Wash me clean again before I pull myself beneath the waves For the time being I will admit my defeat again I will accept that I can't pretend We will ever be together I can't hold myself together
