benjamin francis leftwich - swim until you can't see land كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
we salute at the threshold
of the north sea in my mind
and i nod to the boredom
that drove me here to face the tide
and swim, swim, swim

[verse 2]
dip a toe in the ocean
oh how it hardens and it numbs
and the rest of me is a version of man
built to collapse into crumbs
and if i hadn’t come down
to the coast to disappear
i may have died in a landslide
of the rocks and hopes and fears

[chorus]
oh, swim until you can’t see land
swim until you can’t see land
swim until you can’t see land
are you a man or a bag of sand?

[verse 3]
up to my knees now
do i wade? do i dive?
the sea has seen my like before
though it’s my first and perhaps last time
let’s call me a baptist
call this a drowning of the past
she is there on the shoreline
throwing stones at my back

[chorus]
oh, swim until you can’t see land
swim until you can’t see land
swim until you can’t see land
are you a man or a bag of sand?

[bridge]
now the water is taller than me
and the land is a marker line
all i am is a body
adrift in water, salt and sky

[chorus]
oh, swim until you can’t see land
swim until you can’t see land
swim until you can’t see land
are you a man or a bag of sand?
swim until you can’t see land
swim until you can’t see land
swim until you can’t see land
are you a man or a bag of sand?
