You hold your every breath – 
but life is for the living, in the water – 
you feel that you [bad word]  
but where are you to hide – in the water. 

You vow your life and blood – 
but this is not our home – in the water – 
our hope here’s never found – 
just try and keep your way – in the water. 

Against the tide we [bad word] with the skin we’re in, 
the skin we’re in – against the tide we [bad word] -
to keep our heads above the deep – 
and our hearts above the lie. 

Who we are today – could never make amends for what we’ve one – tainted blood – 
his eyes are full of love – 
forgive them – release them.
