Lyrics
daydream i have water running over me
pretend blue is the only thing i see
my shower is a stream
my refuge, my safety
the river is the only place i’m free
She gives me everything i need
numb feet on frosted floors
answers behind closed doors
i’ll find love in the isles of a drugstore
see my ribs in the mirror
and hair in the drain
can hot water wash away my shame?
my body is an animal, can’t be tamed
i’m like a bird, bones fragile and feathered
through storms i have flown, i’ve weathered
i’m like a rock
stuck and unmoving
the water so soothing heal my bruises
i’m in a cage
made of iron and metal
i’ll wait out the days
til i settle
my shower is a stream
submerge, float and breathe
the river is the only place i’m free
she leads me back to my body
