Surfacing Lyrics by The Plague Monkeys

Surface Tension

0

When the surface breaks
And the water comes in between
Who will save you
When the surface breaks?
Let it go
I remember I saw god in an optic
And I asked:
Are you a wave or a particle?
He said:
I am
Balanced on the crest of a world winding down
That over which you pass in silence
The absolute noun
But there is a water-wheel
Turning inside
This dam-building
You cannot win against the water
Memory is a reservoir of resonances
And dreams arе crystalline
They fall out of the noisе
When you could measure the effects
They kept you high and you went running wild
And clean out of daydreams
You cannot win against the water
No the tide has time on its side
I remember I read that life is s-shaped
And from my place on the bell-curve
I turn my back on her
Resounding on the drum of summer
But there is a water-wheel
Turning inside
This damn building
You cannot win against the water
The tide has time on its side
I remember I saw god in an optic
And I asked:
Are you a mirror or a lamp?
He said:
I am
I am
