Under The Water Co-written with Ralph Sall
Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin'
My blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys
So many toys
Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become
There's a hole inside my head where all the thoughts break out
Sometimes my flesh is filled with forgetfulnes and doubt
It's easy to feel separate, no control of the reigns
Innocence ain't lost it just needs to be maintained
It needs to be maintained
Beside me are strange fish, moody and dark
A tapestry of intention that maintains the spark
And there's a tiny light
A flicker within
Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend
It knows how to mend
Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become
(Spoken "Rap")
I've decided to hear who we will become
Wanna lay down in the water, go back to where I'm from
Outer space is just a puzzle of stars
Music the mechanics of the human heart
A post that stirs, a shadow that casts
An insatiable thirst drains a martini glass
There's no place sacred, no honest reflection
Our senses made senseless by a lack o' direction
Monks are great with their fists uncurled
But they live in a cave, they know nothin' of the world
I wanna live brave, I wanna love without fear
But it's hard to navigate when I can't even hear
(Do do do do do do do,
Do do do do)
Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin'
My blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys
There're so many toys
Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become
Under the water
My flesh is filled with stars
Under the water
I hear who we really are
Under the water
I lay my burdens down, down, down
Under the water
All resistance drowns
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
Come on, come down, down, down under go,
A-go down on and go down under
Go under the water
I hear who I'll become
Under the water
I lay my problems down
Under the water
All my resistance drowned
Unsung In Your Eyes
Rising to the challenge
Tough boys always appeal
With a little bit of varnish
With a little bit of blue
I'm gonna fix you up
Bring out the best in you
I'm going to empty myself out
Hollowed of pride and bone
Fill you with myself
Your courage will be my own
But still I falter
Your hands know not my own
It's not that my body is overlooked
My soul is just unknown
And I cry myself to sleep
It should come as no surprise
I've tailored myself to fit your needs
Still I am unsung in your eyes
Still I am unsung in your eyes
I await the blue flame
Your passion is overdue
But as you pass over me
There is no lightning crashing
There is no love towards sea
There is no human embrace
And beneath you I am sexless
Nothing I can do or say
Stare at my hands & wonder
How they got so far away
But still I wonder
Your hands know not my own
It's not that my body is overlooked
My soul is just unknown
And I cry myself to sleep
It should come as no surprise
I've tailored myself to fit your needs
Still I am unsung in your eyes
Still I am unsung in your eyes
What would Daddy say
If his doormat moved away
What would Daddy do
If he had no crutch to use
Hey Hey Hey
I guess he�d find a way
We�re no longer fruit
Cut from the same vine
We are strangers struggling
Falling out of time
And beneath you I am sexless
Nothing I can do or say
Stare at my hands & wonder
How they got so far away
But still I wonder
Your hands know not my own
It's not that my body is overlooked
My soul is just unknown
And I cry myself to sleep
It should come as no surprise
I've tailored myself to fit your needs
Still I am unsung in your eyes
Still I am unsung in your eyes
