Run to the Water - Moddi, Faraó

Fast as you can

Run to the water

Cool as I am

I’ll give you shelter

This place is built to make you smaller

To keep your face out of the light

Around the city’s growing taller through the night

And then a symphony of laughter

Cuts though the air of foreign tongues

And you are back at where you started:

All alone

So fast as you can

Run to the water

Safe in my hands I’ll bring you home

There’s nothing I can do

There’s water coming through, I can sense it

And I swim the whole night through

But in spite of all I do I’m defenceless

So I’ll try to pretend I was always alone

And with a handful of pills I’ll divide us

'cause with millions of miles between arrow and bow

It is easier to kill it with silence

So to hide from our hundreds you went underhill

Where the treeroots grew into your bones

I tell all my friends you are living there still

In the teeth of the chaos above

Hammer hits head but the nail doesn’t move

Though the blows throwing sparks all around

It is never too late

But today is too soon

So for now you must stay underground

So fast as you can

Run to the water
