Blood from a stone
Water from wine.
Born under earplay design.
A
stroke of bad luck,
wrong place, wrong time…
…
This flyer is out of the
lime.
The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying
times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How…
…a heaven
I don't need religion
I am in the place where I
should be
I am breathing water
I am breathing water
You know a body's got…

…?
We're in a new place
Above it isn't bright Below it isn't dark
Everywhere we go it's just…
…a walk in the park.
The Fountain of Youth is forever
We come apart, we come together
There's nothing harder than a son and a daughter
Swimming in the water…
…with no mother and no father
Sister, sister, let's live forever.
Your mouth is breathing
It's breathing what I'm breathing
I'm pretty sure your…

…[Chorus]
Oh, I need you like water my love
Some things never change
Maybe I'm thinking out loud?
Need a reason or sign from above…
…now
[Chorus]
I'm really feeling it now
Oh I need you like water my love
Some things never change
I'm barely breathing right now
Need…
…feeling it now
Oh I need you like water my love
Some things never change
I'm barely breathing right now
Need a reason or sign from above
My love, my love…

Stay breathing
Listen
[pre hook]
I'll die for my niggas dawg
My Gs, I'll die for my niggas
Yeah, I'll die for my niggas…
And if they touch cells I'll write to my niggas
[hook]
Stay breathing (stay breathing)
Bruddahs wanna watch my face (but I'm still livin…
…grind hard my team stays creaming
Tryna keep my head above the water level
Tryna re-invest so I can drop out shotting pebbles…
…a taker
A receiver and believer, a conceiver not a lever
But a stayer and a layer, a plane and not a drain
That takes an insane brain to handle the pain
Only to be holy enough to not hold water
My cup is filled, and my mind I…
…glad to be breathing, I'm glad to be breathing
Above all, I'm glad to be breathing
I'm glad to be breathing, I'm glad to be breathing…
…Above all, I'm glad to be breathing
If I told you, all I been through, if I knew you, and all that you do
If we knew…

…[Verse]
I walk around everyday
With my head above the darkness
The storm below
I just can't face it
So I don't
[Verse]
You say I…
…that I don't fall too deep
In water I can't tame
'Cos that's the only way that I know
How to stay breathing
And keep myself from feeling…
…to think shallow thoughts
So that I don't fall too deep
In water I can't tame
'Cos that's the only way I know
How to stay breathing…

…at the seams?
I'm tired of letting myself get crucified.
I'm sick of you pointing your finger at me.
I'm keeping my head above the water…
…of this one tracked mind?
Hands clutched around this silent surrender
And as you move on I stay behind.
I'm keeping my head above the water…
…that pulls me in.
I'm breathing in slowly, incase I drown again.
I thought I let it out, but I guess I let it in.
The water…

…the warriors,
But for profit of the people,
For advantage of the nations.
First he built a lodge for fasting,
Built a wigwam in the forest,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water…
…above him.
"Master of Life!" he cried, desponding,
"Must our lives depend on these things?"
On the next day of his fasting…
…and yellow;
To and fro his plumes above him,
Waved and nodded with his breathing,
And the sweat of the encounter
Stood like drops of dew upon…

I disappear as the water comes over me
Why is it so hard to keep breathing?
Here is our terminus
And a yellow sky above
Tell me…
…on me
Please wake me up!
I know that you'll find me
If I believe, if…
If I keep breathing
I fear my time is here
So would you please…
And a yellow sky above
Tell me
Who are we?
What of us?
I don't know, it's not enough
I feel I…
I'm on the edge of a dark world
And I'm scared…

Rule]
Drown drown drown
Lord let me, stay above water like the French quarter
I'm so walker
Now, I'm overlooking the ocean
From…
That wanna bite like piranhas
I overflow, Leo DiCaprio
I'm Titanic, bigger than life, the aura
This ship sink, n*gga, I'm gon' walk on water…
Gigantic, but Jesus I'ma depressing attic
How do I manage? To be above average…

Under water breathing fine
Verse
There's a lake where I could swim and swim or drown
Great monsters of the lake creeping around…
…but the wolves they are not gonna get me
Under water breathing fine
Bridge
Servant of desire, no blood no fire (6x)
Chorus (2x)
Hey father why have you…
…forsaken me
Hey father you let me, let me down
I'm broken but the wolves they are not gonna get me
Under water breathing fine…

…-land,
Mighty Peboan, the Winter,
Breathing on the lakes and rivers,
Into stone had changed their waters.
From his hair he shook…
…
On the plain the dance of snow-shoes.
One dark evening, after sundown,
In her wigwam Laughing Water
Sat with old Nokomis, waiting…
…with streaks of crimson,
In the eyes of old Nokomis
Glimmered like the watery moonlight,
In the eyes of Laughing Water
Glistened like the sun in water…

She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares alone across the water
Loneliness grows
And slowly fills her frozen body…
And one by one the bright birds
Leave...
Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn but final noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water…
…was true
It couldn't be a story (story)
Wish it was all true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me lifeless, hoping
Breathing like a drowning man
Oh…

She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares
Alone
Across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly
Fills her frozen body…
…dark head
The water bows
Receives her
And drowns her at its ease...
I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you…
…it was all true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me
Lifeless
Hoping
Breathing like the drowning man
Oh Fuchsia…
