lyrics

I wish I were a wave rolling on the sea
Splashing around for eternity
Or as long as god gave me breath
I wish I were in motion

Cause all these thoughts They pull me down again
To the bottom of the sea Where the sunlight ends
And I’m so cold and lonely here
I wish I were in motion

I feel so broken up like a star-filled sky
3-0-0 sextillion glaring eyes
Pierce me from every point
And put my heart in motion

Oh what’s an ape to do with such diamonds thoughts?
You stick them in a song and pray your soul unlocks
And releases you from your mortal womb
And puts your heart in motion

Oh no, I’m a river now
My water is my sound

I’m gonna bury down into the deep dark earth
Plant myself in warmth and lift this awful curse
That clouds me like a half-remembered dream
And put myself in motion

Yes when I am still I’m really fast at work
Moving through dimensions of the highest worth
In my mind though I’m lost at times
I know I’ll find the motion

Oh no, I’m a river now
My water is my sound
