Murky Waters Lyrics by Dryden Thomas

Waterbearer

2019

Why do you always mumble the words “I love you?"
Why can’t you speak them forward, the way that I do?
And why am I a firefly with light too hot to hold?
How many pounds of flesh do I have to cut out?
Now that my body’s hollow, I’m full from swallowing doubts
I never told
But now I’m swimming at night through murky waters
Living on ice was sure, but awfully cold
Cold from all those absolutes
You were the only tinder that kept me burning
I was a fireball as the tide was turning
But where went all your wherewithal, the pyre of gall and kindly urging?
Now, as the winter eases, my heart is wrung dry
How, through the gasping wheezes, I say my last goodbye
Goodbye, for now
Now all these zeroes and ones are falling faster
Searing my lungs with barbed and brackish code
Code for all these ambiguities
But I don’t want to lose you
Will you wait there for me?
I will keep your memory
Clear as crystal chimneys
