about

"The lyrics are a poetic page out of my journal after one of the worst conflicts I had with my s/o. It's the reverberations of dealing with it: the aftershock, recognition and reconciliation.. ...Also, I literally can't swim, so it's the perfect metaphor."

-Summit (FOX)

lyrics

For what it’s worth I don’t feel pain anymore--just a little sore
Removed it like a raincoat and dropped it to the floor
Still the rain patters down and this river is looking grim
My love if we’re inclined to flood, just know that I can’t swim.

Whether withered wherewithal, my words are waterlogged
With the scourge of alcohol and the weight of a waterfall
We say we're not drowning like an anthem but when the façade falls
We simply wade the river wishing we weren’t here at all.

I can’t feel you--skin turned to air--
no nothing--no blood flow--
no bones, no pulse, no hair--
Some distortion of the worst part of passion and I won’t call it love,
But it feels like love if love with impassion had gone ashen.

I never meant to hold you like I wanted to die
But these dreams are more terrifying to wake up to alive
I don’t fear drowning I just can’t swim so it’ll be a simple thing
To just let go, let go, let go: let the river take me in.

I never meant to scream at you with fire in my eyes
But these demons are more horrifying when silent in my mind
I don’t fear drowning I just can’t swim, so it’ll be a simple thing
To just let go, let go, let go: let the river take me in.
