Lyrics

Lump Sums

I feel the cold, cold water

I hide my head in the sand

You won't even try to see

You don't have a good foot to stand

Holding up walls, just to walk and watch fall to the ground

(I can see now, I can see now)

Treading on words that are weightless and trying not to drown

(I can see now, I can see now)

Nine hundred eyes

Nine hundred eyes

Swan dive

Muddy water

Nine hundred eyes

Holding up walls, just to walk and watch fall to the ground

(I can hear now, I can hear now)

Treading on words that are weightless and trying not to drown

(I can hear now, I can hear now)

Nine hundred sounds

Nine hundred sounds

Swan dive

Muddy water

Nine hundred sounds
