Something In The Water

Well Jesus loves the sinner
the rich man loves the saint
there’s something in the water
I think I’m bout to faint

I need a little air now
I need a little time
to contemplate the difference
between holiness and lying

I’ll be twenty five years old soon
I’m not as crazy as I seem
but i wait with bated breath
For an ever fleeting dream

I guess a dream is just the knowing
that I’m running out of time
there’s a white light in my window
and a darkness in my rhyme

there’s something in the water
Or it might just be my eyes
paranoia maybe
Or the devil in disguise

I’ve got a full steam way of living
with a heart that might just burst
I’ve had my share of losing
I’ll be damned if i’m not cursed

cursed by all the people
who could never understand
that there’s more to life than living
and the sins don’t make the man

there’s something in the water
I think I’m gonna cry
there’s way too much confusion
and no telling what from why

they say that Jesus knows the meek man
like a father knows his own
and when he gets to heaven
he’ll be right and he’ll be whole

but for me I’m but a stranger
whose strayed too far from home
I make friends with all unworthy
And I wait for my bell to toll

there’s something in the water
I’ll bend and hell I’ll break
I fall with all God’s children
And from the ashes I awake


I’m nothing if not brazen
I’m bold but boy im scared
terrified by monsters
Who breathe my troubled air

There’s something in the water
There’s a traitor in the trees
an unrelenting notion
That’s brought me to my knees
