Swim Until You Can't See Land

[Verse 1] I salute at the threshold of the north sea of my mind And i nod to the boredom that drove me here to face the tide And i swim, i swim, oh swim Dip a toe in the ocean, oh how it hardens and it numbs The rest of me is a version of man built to collapse in crumbs And if i hadn't come now to the coast to disappear I may have died in a landslide of rocks and hopes and fears [Chorus] So i swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? [Verse 2] Up to my knees now Do i wade? Do i dive? The sea has seen my like before, though it's my first and perhaps last time Let's call me a baptist, call this a drowning of the past She is there on the shoreline throwing stones at my back [Chorus] [Verse 3] And the water is taller than me And the land is a marker line All i have is a body adrift in water, salt and sky [Chorus] [Outro] Swim until you can't see land [x3] Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?[x9]
