Muddy Waters by Keyth Brightland Band Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why do all pretty people always seem to have their heads turned down
As if to make sure that the passing of years has not yet taken it's toll on their prettiness?
With their eyes glued to the black surfaces of their little handmirros
Like Narcissus kneeling above the lake
Hypnotized by their own contours
Until they fall
[Chorus]
It will swallow you up
It won't spit you back out
It will feed on your soul
It will make you doubt
That there was ever anything here apart from you and your thoughts
So when you swim through the muddy waters down by the ocеan floor
I hope that you may see in the distance, thеre's a lighthouse and so there must be a shore
[Verse 2]
Why do so many well-fed people wait for the morning paper to fly across
Their freshly painted garden fences and land on the freshly cut grass before they know?
They're like little buried potatoe heads only looking at the underside of the earth
Their tiny potatoe arms too weak and too fragile to break out of the turf
Afraid to grow
[Chorus]
It will swallow you up
It won't spit you back out
It will feed on your soul
It will make you doubt
That there was ever anything here apart from you and your thoughts
So when you swim through ther muddy waters down by the ocean floor
I hope that you may see in the distance, there's a lighthouse and so there must be a shore
Uuh, uuh
Uuh, uuh
[Chorus]
It will swallow you up
It won't spit you back out
It will feed on your soul
It will make you doubt
That there was ever anything here apart from you and your thoughts
So when you swim through ther muddy waters down by the ocean floor
I hope that you may see in the distance, there's a lighthouse and so there must be a shore
Why do all pretty people always seem to have their heads turned down
As if to make sure that the passing of years has not yet taken it's toll on their prettiness?
With their eyes glued to the black surfaces of their little handmirros
Like Narcissus kneeling above the lake
Hypnotized by their own contours
Until they fall
[Chorus]
It will swallow you up
It won't spit you back out
It will feed on your soul
It will make you doubt
That there was ever anything here apart from you and your thoughts
So when you swim through the muddy waters down by the ocеan floor
I hope that you may see in the distance, thеre's a lighthouse and so there must be a shore
