lyrics

Swimming Upstream

Playing in the tiny tiny microscopic
The blind myopic
Where little little grains of sand
Seem to tower like crystal mountains

Trapped inside the millisecond lengthy lives
Undirected
Shadowed by the greatest men
Of history we just pretend and

Swimming Upstream
You’ve got to fight the current or you’re
Just a dream

So you stay seconds slip away
And you’re pretty evil
Just to pay your way
With a murder here
And a dead sea there
(Where?)
No one sees and no one cares

Ride a slow descending spiral
Never ending into fire
Poison sunshine glowing rain
Doesn’t matter
Everyone’s insane

Swimming Upstream
You’ve got to fight the current or you’re
Just a dream
