Knife In The Water - Careening lyrics

White moving water carries you down to the sea The artery flows to the mouth Such a comfort to know you won't drown Swimming and floating you talk to yourself like a friend To clear cobwebs out of your head As the wounds on your skin open wide You can't help but laugh as you see your left arm float away Your limbs at their will separate They drift out for miles and dissolve Careening one vast disembodied thought Empty of all need and want Still yet moving with speed Memory threads on as the last thing to go The life you are leaving now Pulls you below undertow Time don't mean nothing but march of the year '91 In the house that you own on the shore Three children and sand kitchen floor Flourescent and plastic bright orange and sweet baby blue Her flawed beauty beckons to you The s**ual nightmare of two Flame, to the face of a young pristine girl Your daughter one flowery scar A body to queasy to hold Pain, a pain that you just can't describe Like burning like burning alive The cinders blow out to the sea Love, this love that just won't leave your mind And nature has been so unkind Nature and fate intertwined Try to establish a new life alone in the world But memory won't leave you alone The awful and sweet both at once Children all moved out you speak now at most once a month Like the fruit from the tree hit the ground Your heartstrings have set in with rot This paralyzing feeling crosses your body like waves Not religious or hopeless ar all Like knowing alone don't exist Careening one vast disembodied thought Empty of all need and want Still but you're moving with speed Memory threads on as the last thing to go In the life you are leaving right now Pulls you below undertow
