Treading Water

from Outmatched - EP by TIEM

lyrics

Between a rock and a hard place, a low lonely moment of a month on a highway,
Needless to say I was abandoned, nothing seemed to be coming or going my way
And minds will find themselves most astray when bodies are still,
Needless to say, I’d made a fountain of the statue I can summon at will.

Water will heal my wounds for now, but one day I’ll drown
It’s only best that I don’t stick around
And water will quench my thirst for now but one day I’ll drown
It’s only best that I don’t stick around

But it stuck, the image glued, my mind certainly had big plans,
my heart was empty and needed filling, so how could I meet those demands?
I allowed my imagination to fill some empty voids
Until every nerve ending was planned but nothing in mind seems to rise above the noise.

Water will quench my thirst for now but one day I’ll drown.
It’s only best that I don’t stick around
And Water will meet my needs for now but one day I’ll drown
It’s only best that I don’t stick around

But to think, that On that same tread, of hot grey nylon,
where my mind’s design was first refined I saw
A figure who’s eyes familiarized, but had never really seen,
but as for speech I said nothing. Nothing at all.

Water will meet my needs for now but one day I’ll drown
It’s only best that I don’t stick around
And water will heal my wounds for now, but one day I’ll drown
It’s only best that I don’t stick around.
