I Wish I Could Swim

from You Feel Bad About You by elemantra

about

This song was a bitch to write and to agree on as an ensemble. It ultimately went through several changes before we could all say "this is a good song". As far as the lyrical content goes, it's basically a commentary on our horribly ego-centric local 'scene'.

- Justin

lyrics

in the water
gravity holds me down
moonlight bends to my eyes
there is no sound
my breath is endless, though it seems
time is stopped and i am found
sound asleep

someone hates in the back of the room
we're all friends
but there's not an ear for you
i won't lie i hate us too

i wish that i could swim
this pond is getting too thick again
could you please make it thinner

now my face feels hot
i've given all i've got
but im sure you know this
i want you to know this
must i say these things?
you won't walk with me
the saddest moment
we're without a purpose

and how am i today when the lights tighten?
with the insects inside them
to patronize you and i

i wish i could swim in this pond
it's hurting me again
could you please say i'm better?

Lyrics, first stanza is Brent, the rest of the song is Justin
