[Intro: Kathryn Rollins] Treading water Treading water Treading water Treading… [Verse 1: Requiem] Do the eggbeater with my legs Treading water, feeling dread Kicking hard to keep up my head Keep on swimming, what they said Sugar spoonful, what they fed Stay content, what they meant I'd rather stop and sink instead So over trying to think ahead Perception keepin' me going Pa**ion keep me flowing In more ways than one Ink in my pen, and my blood My love, got me kicking hard Stuck at sea, swim with sharks Don't look for land or boat Let go control, learn to float [Hook: Kathryn Rollins] Breathe Think I might sink not swim But if I can't leave Maybe I can learn something Treading water Treading water Treading water [Verse 2: Requiem] The legs they cramp up Most couldn't give a damn f** Tellin' me to man up Don't clam up, amp up Water deep I can't stand up Boozehound feelin' like a damp pup Ship with an airhorn jammed shut Need a lighthouse or lamp rub Plug a hole in my damn tub Just a puddle, or pool Olympic Drowning in a school of fishes Swim up for some O2 Ain't no raft that'll row you Pacific to the Atlantic Relax, embrace the panic Don't look for land or boat Let go control, learn to float [Hook: Kathryn Rollins] Breathe Think I might sink not swim But if I can't leave Maybe I can learn something Treading water Treading water Treading water Breathe Think I might sink not swim But if I can't leave Maybe I can learn something Treading water Treading water Treading water [Outro: Kathryn Rollins] Treading water Treading water Treading water Treading water Treading water Treading water Treading water
