So this started off with me feeling overwhelmed with this literal flood at home and arguing with the home insurance. but as i wrote, i realised i was actually processing much more - and realising when you feel like you're drowning a bit. so anyway , enough enough. here it is. check the metaphor's if you dig lyrics/words like me.
Wading Water
We’re running out of time, gotta get the job done
Underwater, under thumb, can’t breathe, can’t move
Claim stuck, walls stripped bare — now we clean up too
We need a lifeboat, someone share a safe harbour
When I’m drowning’ in a tsunami, I’m drowning’ in a flood
Water rushing’ in heavy, thick as blood
Gushing’, pouring’, can’t stop the stream
House fills fast like a bad dream
You sent one man, all he did was talk about him
Learnt his whole life story, every loss, every win
Arguments with his wife, the highs and the lows
Ups and the downs of a life I don’t know
Told me ’bout his brother, full-time care
Parents moving house ‘cause they can’t take the stairs
When he finished his words, said he’d file the report
Shook my hand, said softly, “I’m here to support”
In. - my - . life-. it’s never just -. once — for me. it. comes - in. - three.
Things break together. like they planned it on me
Magpies counting’, all. the prophets lie, and. omens keep score
Every small lie feels like a crack in the floor
When I’m drown in’ in a tsunami, I’m drowning’ in a flood
Water rushing’ in heavy, thick as blood
Gushing, pouring’, can’t stop the stream
killing me. while, living in my own. murder scene
I do it every day fighting like the end of the world
when the. locusts came flying at me
trying to focus but I still cant see, just trying to move , trying to win starting with the ABC
Not forgetting’, not letting go, still clinging. onto my identity
When I’m drowning’ in a tsunami, I’m drowning’ in a flood
Water rushing’ in heavy, thick as blood
Gushing, pouring, can’t stop the stream
House fills fast like a bad dream.
Mop it up, suck it up. whole thing’s fucked
Where's the support when I’m shattering’ up
Need this fixed. -- put some pride back in the mix
Trying bring back magic where the damage still sits
the last apocalypse s is finally here
in my world where I'm hiding out sitting in fear
don't know where to turn, directions un clear
you said keep going ....
