lyrics

I wanna put my whole body in water
And let it wade

I wanna put my whole body in water
And let it wade

He was lucid poised with envy
Sweet as rum and sugar cane
Empty bottles left him bitter
She seemed to hold too much power with her

I wanna put my whole body in water
And let it wade

I wanna put my whole body in water
And let it wade

Muted mouths mean brutal lessons
Always stay beneath the soil
Her inner strength was her saviour
You're calling checkmate but the queen will conquer

Feel the water beneath me
Giving life to my wounds
Waves will align
All in due time

I wanna put my whole body in water
And let it wade x2

I wanna put my whole body in water

And let it wade x2
