Properties of Water by Tristan Gianelli Lyrics

Everything flows like a wave
Travels far from place to place
Like a fog that never stays
I'm reminded of that day
That fleeting image long ago
When I knew I had to go
I couldn't help but stand and say
"This is the way, this is the way"

(This is the way, this is the way, this is the way)
(This is the way, this is the way, this is the way)
(This is the way, this is the way, this is the way)
(This is the way, this is the way, this is the way)

At night when I'm still awake
Eyes closed, I see your face
Your tired eyes, your subtle grace
And yet, now you show your age
I'd still give anything to return
I'd give it all to ease the burn
After all these heart attacks
I yearn so deeply to go back
(Like a wave, like a wave, like a wave)
(Like a wave, like a wave, like a wave)
(Like a wave, like a wave, like a wave)
(Like a wave, like a wave, like a wave)

Everything flows like a wave
It will never freeze in place
Like a fog that never stays
Like horizons far away, like a wave
Even now I look at you
The pain you wear, the blood that's bruised
I see it all within your eyes
But there's still a breath of life
Everything flows like a wave
It will never freeze in place
Like a fog that never stays
Like horizons far away
Everything flows like a wave
It will never freeze in place
Like a fog that never stays
Like a desert far away

As the fog, I'll travel far
To desert lands unseen by man
I will heal my wounds and scars
I'll plunge my hands into the sand
I'll find you buried beneath the dunes
Your color drained, your face decayed
I'll find myself right next to you
On this day, now, I shall stay
I'll pull my heart out from the ground
I'll chop it up and grub it down
I'll drain my blood to make a stew
I'll become a part of you
Like a wave, I will envelop us
I'll drain our sorrows out like pus
I'll say again what I said that day
"This is the way, this is the way"
