lyrics

iD the Poet:

My spokes go in slow-motion
some are bent and some are broken
Winter's dead and Summer's frozen
love hurts when never spoken
I'm counting down backwards because these days move quick
And when I find the words I put it into lyrics
observing the feet; shuffling herds
searching for sustenance
I'm one of them wandering beyond the cement
you're claiming island even though we're all continents
confident in chaos because the greater forces are dominant
white-knuckled trying to squeeze the life out of a ghost
'let it go' I repeat 'let it go'
you're red faced trying to shoot the sky down with a bow and arrow I repeat 'let it go'


chorus:
Falling, drowning, down to the bottom now
I try to wade but I cannot swim
Barely breathing, floating away, I'm buried in the wake
I try to wade but I cannot swim
Feeling the water fill my lungs I start to fade
I try to wade but I cannot swim
Sleeping beneath the surface I'm buried in the wake
I try to wade but I cannot swim

Dusty Nix:

I swim with intention and some might judge and say i'm on the side of evil
I'm just your equal there never is a man that is beneath you
We can teach each other by the way that we all react to people
Let it go completely and it's a cycle that will have no sequel
I stayed up late meditating on the way to fit the pieces
Medicating on a strain to help me to achieve this
Humble is not weakness
Silence may be golden
Or violence that withholding
For a moment left to smolder
Buried with a smile in an attempt to control
And i'm reaching for a cannon drawing from an empty holster
Buried in the wake and looking for a roller coaster
Don't make no mistakes and coming around the corner getting slower
Evil control trying to keep its position 'let it go' I repeat 'let it go'
See this Ego respond from getting beat into submission 'let it go I repeat 'let it go'
