I'm Not a Water

from Therapeutic Lies by Purple Hummus

/

lyrics

I’m not a water wing, I don’t exist
To keep you floating safe, support your shallow faith
Beauty’s tearful, baby’s fearful
You were always travelling, now that isn’t happening

You say you’ve heard enough
Of all the aqua stuff
But it’s plain you did not get it
Then one day at last, broke the viewing glass

I’m not a water slide
Can’t help you as you glide
As your guilt drips inside
Chlorine stings your eyes and your joy subsides
Lifeguard of the hour is nowhere near

I’m not a waterfall but I bubble underneath
And my remaining trust just turns to rust
Awful listener, Sea World prisoner
You’re a feature in the mall, now you wave instead of call

I know you won’t have planned
Left without contraband
You did not predict the demand
You will have to float, you won’t get to stand

I’m not a water slide
Can’t help you as you glide
As your guilt drips inside
You once left me floored, now you’re overboard
Lifeguard of the hour is nowhere near

Lifeguard of the day is nowhere near
Lifeguard of the month is nowhere near
Lifeguard of the year is nowhere near
