ember swift - wash water 水 lyrics

[verse 1]
save the water from the washing up, one can’t assume
the ground can barter anymore tears for our wastefulness
she’ll dry up soon
i live high above the ground now
use the water to mop up the floor
so many dirty footprints of pride
use the water to flush uselessness down, or at least aside
i live high above the ground now, so high above the ground

[chorus]
you’d think grief’s vibrations wouldn’t reach me up here
but sounds ricochet up, up, up from the street
and now it’s six flights of elevation
still the residue of me and you is like sidewalk dust on my feet

[verse 2]
write it down now
the archive of our lives is in what we do not what we hope
set it down now, far from city heights and city lights
seal the envelope
and dig a hole into the ground now
a hole into the ground
use the water you saved from the washing up
plant your stories, fill with dirt
the ground can barter a little grief for resourcefulness
give back the water, heal the hurt
and rise high above the sound now
don’t let this city get you down now
[chorus]
you’d think grief’s vibrations wouldn’t reach me up here
but sounds ricochet up, up, up from the street
and now it’s six flights of elevation
still the residue of me and you is like sidewalk dust on my feet

you’d think grief’s vibrations wouldn’t reach me up here
but sounds ricochet up, up, up from the street
and now it’s six flights of elevation
still the residue of me and you is like sidewalk dust on my feet

stand on my two feet, wash them clean
