Slip

I washed up, you rained me in
A mess of hair, all seen in skin
You held my hands
You towed the line
To your canvas tent
In your net of twine

You lit fires all down the beach
They swam for miles to hear you teach
Your silver tongue, your crystal crown
All these idle things
That weigh you down

Loosen your grip on me
And let me slip away
I want out of your hands
I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me
And let me slip away
I want out of your hands
I want out of your heart

The sun burnt hot, the land ran dry
You kept us there
Said you would provide
Your sweet voice sang
Hands lifted high
But your songs don't move me
So much as the tide

Loosen your grip on me
And let me slip away
I want out of your hands
I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me
And let me slip away
I want out of your hands
I want out of your heart!

Come to the water where you stole me
Down to the water, just like you told me
Wash in the water, it makes you holy
Under the water
'Til you can't breathe

Loosen your grip on me
And let me slip away
I want out of your hands
I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me
And let me slip away
I want out of your hands
I want out of your heart

Loosen your grip on me
And let me slip away
I want out of your hands
I want out of your heart
Loosen your grip on me
And let me slip away
I want out of your hands
I want out of your heart

I want out of your heart

I want out of your heart
