Water

[Intro]

It would've been the most beautiful second-coming of Christ

That anyone had ever seen

[Verse 1]

The water ain't safe, the land's made of water

I hug a half-empty glass my dignity's tryin' to pawn her

I'm tryin' to see the future in a tea cup and a saucer

But I rather be drinkin' coffee with my cigarette foster

Can a run-away buckle the cloud-nine fantasy filter to force the brutal truth of daily marketplace wars through the roof?

I mean, I stood beneath the icicles that bleed under the awning

And magically mastered the great absorbing of spirit falling

But I'm sick, I've plowed these fields a thousand times over

Sold botanical research studies to farmers with whole quarters

And when science proposes to art besides that peaceful sea

I'll be that cat with a ring on a pillow, shouting: "Finally!"

Take a number, the apple seeds raineth upon your slumber

A hundred thousand freaks on parade for the village hunter

My every whim acted upon has gone loopy

But I play a game called

"Let's prepare barnacle city for the end-all noosings."

I split the radius of go-getter bellies, reconnaissance

Sleeping fossil genie bottle optimist freeze

Run for the fountain but the fountain is a desert optical tease

Tummy full of sand, running man, impossible, stop

There's a wing in my gut and I'm all dust

Surfin' the urban Iditarod, certainly flushed

Now one in the hand is worth two atop the tallest cedar

But what lies inside my heart is off the motherfuckin' meter

[Hook]

The water ain't safe no more

I'm just tryin' to build myself to act as a truly better man, damn

See, the water ain't safe no more

I'm just tryin' to be a solid oak tree

For every child to carve its name across

The water ain't safe no more

I'm just tryin' to be the dream

Of every peasant the hurricane can offer

See, the water ain't safe no more

I'm just tryin' to be somebody

I can talk to in the morning with a smile

The water ain't safe no more

[Verse 2]

And I've always been a 40-night chronologic hostage

Rusted hook in the lip of the monarch

Wingless anime idol

I don't play in the man race cycle, hope floater

Gloating inside carnal indifference

'Til doom cops a slot and potent quotas

I'm 20 something, pumping acrylic tomorrow sideways

Blazing passage with a map tattooed on the back of the classless

Now tip-toe across a lost cause

Because a lost cause found don't mean you found a cause

That means you found a lost cause

Okay, now I've been here for role-playing

Slaying my here and now

To benefit consumption for my peers steering the plow

And it's incredible

Handy jackets turn numerals to sentinels

But bad apples ain't sweet

And cretins' saddles ain't that memorable

I'm Mozart with a focus on the tide

Hiding the inconsistencies of man behind water and wine

I wear a tiger-striped ego and bivouac my progression

Where the kindlings formulated

Through the flesh of the oppressors

Now, God had a flask, I can prove it

You really think the thirteen loops that used honor

Spawned me a sober unit?

Check potion, addressed the ghost inside my TV with a ruler

Adhered to the back bone, stone pusher

Here ten thousand hackers deep in the movement

That's 20,000 crucial ruby heels clicking in unison

And it's beautiful, I keep a stick inside my hand

And carve my name inside every wall of the falling hologram

[Hook]

The water ain't safe no more

I'm just tryin' to build myself to act as a truly better man, damn

The water ain't safe no more

I'm just tryin' to be a solid oak tree

For every child to carve its name across

The water ain't safe no more

I'm just tryin' to be the dream

Of every peasant the hurricane can offer

See, the water ain't safe no more

I'm just tryin' to be somebody

I can talk to in the morning with a smile

See, the water ain't safe no more
