Back to the barriers
Back to the worriers belt pulled through
You could have liked me but
You could have married someone else but me
And that was me in the water
They could have buried my limbs into
And that was me in the water
I would have buried my hopes into
You got too bad, the child in me died
When you revealed your long-term schedule
That if I was going to try resistance
Yet still alive and so I ran for two
Back to the barriers
Back to the neighborhoods denied support
You could have loved me but
You could have been my decent stepfather
And that was me in the water
They could have buried my limbs into
And that was me in the water
I would have buried my hopes into
Came by a man on motorcycle
(And if you drown you'll grab the sharp knife
Though it will cut your hand while pulling)
Yet still alive and so I climbed onto
And that was me in the water
They could have buried my limbs into
And that was me in the water
I would have buried my hopes into
