Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe if I go down to the water
Maybe I can get back into my body
It's a hot day, shitty
There's weeds in the breakers
There's kids throwing tantrums and circling teenagers
[Verse 2]
I was changing in the bushes
Strip the clothes from my thighs
Crouching for a second
Bare my skin to the sky
Sweating, hidden
In the cottonwood and vines
[Verse 3]
My mind glitching, kinda
Thinking dark thoughts lately
And maybe
I should admit to somebody
It's been feeling cut off lately
Thinking, was I a person?
[Verse 4]
All I ever knew was I
Every morning
That I wake up in two eyes
I walked down the beach
Squinting in the light
Across the dirty sand, exposed
[Chorus]
Carrying this humanhood
I went carrying this humanhood
I've been carrying this humanhood
Tryna make good on it
[Verse 5]
You always tell me
I would walk without grace
Something awkward
In how I brush the hair from my face
It could be better
If I'd just listen, if I'd change
I slip into the cold shock of waves and dive under
[Verse 6]
Roll, and look up from under
Blurred light
Blue, white, blue, white
Ripples that smash
Shore into sky
Shore into sky
Weightless for a second, I swim
Just breathing
[Chorus]
I've been carrying this humanhood
I'm carefully carrying this humanhood
Ungracefully carrying this body
That's tired from carrying a mind
[Bridge]
This citizenship in this personal life, I guess
This citizenship in this history, in this moment in time
This fragile life
One of a generation that might end this world I guess
Nobody tells you how to bear this
[Verse 7]
Was I really as you say?
Untruthful, untrustworthy
You tell me
Or always falling out of my body when I'm afraid
Always afraid
Can't seem to stay
Bear the weight of it, I guess
[Chorus]
Carrying this humanhood
It looked like a burden
Carrying this humanhood
For lack of decision, too mangled a living
Carrying this humanhood
Too entangled a vision
[Outro]
Sacred though
Precious, oh
