Water goes not of its choosing Waterfalls and water dropping Water has no way of stopping Water goes down, water went into me, 90% But water can't try, never will, it's my 10% that fights uphill And when I'm dead and the water crawls out, all that 90% falls out And all that's left are the bones that rattle the feet that climbed and thoughts that battled That's the part with the gifts and flaws The water just obeys nature's laws Just obey and just give in and follow the rest have been But I had to fail and go be lonely just to learn I had my own way The things I want might just be trouble I might be left with only rubble But I've got too much confidence to only do things that make sense When you were young you got good grades It always seemed you had it made When I was young and people liked me and told me all the things I might be But everything was unpredicted, who knows just what might have fixed it? And time tries to pass in a torrent but I claw against the current Because water's leaking, water's moving Water goes not of its choosing Waterfalls and water dropping Water has no way of stopping Water goes down, water went into me, 90% But water can't try, never will, it's my 10% that fights uphill And when I'm dead and the water crawls out, all that 90% falls out And all that's left are the bones that rattle the feet that climbed and thoughts that battled That's the part with the gifts and flaws The water just obeys nature's laws
