do you think she can hear our prayers to her
I can't speak but my voice is hooked onto the wind
I just wanted a better place to be
but we can't stop her from taking us away from here
and maybe that's not as horrible as we thought
there's a dry terrible taste on my lips now
I've forgotten what came before this
a bird chirps hopefully just outside
her hand's around my throat now and I can't breathe
but I'm smiling while looking into her eyes
because I still trust her to hold me
even though now my legs are going numb
maybe it's just so that I can't feel
the rising water all around
