Lyrics
I was born within water
Into a river that flows
It goes off down and on
(and on)
I look, I look for myself
In this mud, in this dirt
But where can I find my self
When everything's in flux?
I breath, not air, heavier
I don't feel, like drowning, at all
I see all that was, and is
Yet somehow,
I can't see ahead, now
I can't tell where I am going
But I can tell how it's like
It's full of regret and despair
It's so dark and there's no air
And around me I hear whispers
But are those also mine - I think so
As my weak thoughts slip away
Can't stop I'm dreaming awake
Going with the flow of reality
The dream logic messes with me
Can't shake the cold, I'm shivering
Look at me, and back to me
One with the ice and the water
One with the ice in the water
[elision]
I am the ice in the water
But the cold is good it blankets
Like a warm, motherly womb
But the silence is good it blankets
Like a cold, motherly womb
But mother's voice is good it blankets,
In a quiet, neighbourly tongue
The sleepiness is good it blankets me,
Inside a peaceful, watery tomb
[instrumental solo]
And around me I hear whispers
But are those also mine - I think so
As my weak thoughts slip away
Can't stop I'm dreaming awake
I've found, I've found myself
I'm back to where I was born
I am found, where I was lost
But the water is good it blankets
Like a gentle, motherly womb
And the darkness is good it blankets
Like a final, watery tomb
I was born and melted
Like ice in the water...
I am the ice in the water...
One with the ice and the water
One with the ice in the water
[elision]
I am the ice in the water
But the cold is good it blankets
Like a warm, motherly womb
But the silence is good it blankets
Like a cold, motherly womb
But mother's voice is good it blankets,
In a quiet, neighbourly tongue
The sleepiness is good it blankets me,
Inside a peaceful, watery tomb
[instrumental solo]
And around me I hear whispers
But are those also mine - I think so
As my weak thoughts slip away
Can't stop I'm dreaming awake
I've found, I've found myself
I'm back to where I was born
I am found, where I was lost
But the water is good it blankets
Like a gentle, motherly womb
And the darkness is good it blankets
Like a final, watery tomb
I was born and melted
Like ice in the water...
I am the ice in the water...
