Swimmers Can Drown - I:Scintilla

You don't know the feelings you brought out of me Opened up the cage and set my spirit free It was only once but I can tell Just remembering the way it felt in my head A dream in a dream You were a forbidden fruit and I had hungry eyes Watching the way you move under the neon nights You were a forbidden fruit, somebody else's fight But I still think of you when I'm alone at night When I'm alone at night When I'm alone at night Driving home, these images run through my mind (Run through my mind) Wishing I could go back to that place and time (That place and time) To that fatefull night when we first met With the taste of you still on my lips It was wrong but, oh, it felt so right You were a forbidden fruit and I had hungry eyes Watching the way you move under the neon nights You were a forbidden fruit, somebody else's fight But I still think of you when I'm alone at night You were a forbidden fruit and I had hungry eyes Watching the way you move under the neon nights You were a forbidden fruit, somebody else's fight But I still think of you when I'm alone at night When I'm alone at night When I'm alone at night When I'm alone at night When I'm alone at night You were a forbidden fruit and I had hungry eyes Watching the way you move under the neon nights You were a forbidden fruit, somebody else's fight But I still think of you when I'm alone at night When I'm alone at night When I'm alone at night

Do you know We are the young ghosts? In reverse Our stories unfold Moving slow We're just killing time And we know This fear is a crime Surrender to your love Surrender to your heart Surrender We are swimmers Caught in the tide Pitch black river Shadows and light Into the night Beautiful swimmers Losing the fight A constant river Shadows and light Into the night Coming home We're shaking the grass All alone So far from the path Do you know I see you so clear? Yes, I know It's happening here Surrender to your love Surrender to your heart Surrender We are swimmers Caught in the tide Pitch black river Shadows and light Into the night Beautiful swimmers Losing the fight A constant river Shadows and light Into the night We are swimmers Caught in the tide Pitch black river Shadows and light Into the night Beautiful swimmers Losing the fight A constant river Shadows and light Into the night

Backstage with the modern dancers She was stretching her arms, Configuring her body. While they were breathing, they were shouting. She was concentrating on her breathing And didn't seem to mind, As I sat there on the couch, And tuned my guitar, And played a few chords Like roses growing their thorns. Getting ready to perform With bare feet and painted faces, They took their places, On shivering legs beneath colourful gowns. And out there on the wooden floors, The sweat from their pores. I'm writing a list Of songs I can sing by myself. Backstage with the modern dancers, Who feel it, like I do. Like I feel it, like I feel it. Backstage with the modern dancers, Getting ready to go on, She showed me her spin, With a beauty lit from within. And all of these things, I don't think they should be released

It's getting closer to the end, every part of me And then disaster takes its toll and now I'm left with only me Maybe sorrow plays a role when you feel unkind Your abuses matter, standing up forever lost in time Save me, save me before I drown Save me, save me before I drown It's getting closer to the end, I look back and smile We conquered every single bump in my road, made it all worthwhile Just remember how I cared when it came crashing down I'd like to toast to all those angels that were always hanging 'round Save me, save me before I drown Save me, save me before I drown, drown, oh, oh Maybe life ain't what it seems 'cause it's all a dream Forgive me Sometimes I feel like a fool 'cause I'm so uncool Forgive me

What doesn't kill you Makes you wish you were dead Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper And I can't take One more moment of this silence The loneliness is killing me And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up Hold up, hold up It comes in waves I close my eyes Hold my breath And let it bury me I'm not okay And it's not alright Won't you drag the lake And bring me home again, home again? Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm drown? Save me from myself Don't let me drown Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive? Save me from myself Don't let me drown What doesn't destroy you Leaves you broken instead Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper And I can't take One more moment of this silence The loneliness is haunting me And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up Hold up, hold up It comes in waves I close my eyes Hold my breath And let it bury me I'm not okay And it's not alright Won't you drag the lake And bring me home again, home again? Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down? Save me from myself Don't let me drown Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive? Save me from myself Don't let me drown 'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own 'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own 'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own 'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own Who will fix me now? Who will fix me now? Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down? Save me from myself Don't let me drown
