What the Water Gave Me

I drank the beast within I drank him down so deep He got so thin And then the beast within He learns to swim And so I cannot win Drink up, drink in These things will come to pass The trees have grown from seeds They're planted in my feet They crack my bones My spine becomes a branch To bend, not break So bend me back again, again, and then The life will come to pass My dull face in the dark I dared to heal and soon I soon forgot to feel The lights were on But everything was gone The beast he screams He begs upon his knees for me to run I run into his arms And I have come to pass I had to let him out Just once it was enough To take the doubt And turn it into truth The beast was free So, guilty I will plead His hands among the stars Each one will come to pass The damage caused was great My love has turned to hate I beg for death But sleep will never come I curse the sun The beast and I are one My life has come to pass My dull face in the dark My life has come to pass I run into the dark
