drink the water drink it down
this time i know i´m bound
to spit it back up
i didn´t want this
salty substitute, just not going to do
i need some air, if i´m going to live through
this experience reminds me of a clock
that just won´t tick

i want to wake up
from this concussion
but my dream is just not done
i´m late again,
it´s just one of those
bad days look outside and
be careful what you ride
you just might find
that you´re out of time
to swim ashore
if i drift long enough
i´ll be home

he´s got delusions between his ears
man it takes up too much space
and all that tension between his gears man
he´ll never ever leave this place
he´s got stones instead of bones
and everybody knows
that can make you real real slow
and if heaven was below
he´d know just where to go
dive in the ocean
and he´d sink like a stone
and he´d say
it´s time to swim ashore
if i drift long enough
i´ll be home

hold on if you can
you´re gonna sink faster
than you can imagine so hold
hold on if you can
you´re gonna sink faster
than you can imagine so hold

it´s just time to swim ashore
if i drift long enough
i´ll be home
