Michael Tiernan - Swim
текст песни

This is the showdown, there?s no better time.
Will you run away and hide?
I?ve been to the desert, I?ve been to the sea,
I?ve received the gifts they?ve given to me.
I?ve lost some illusions ? I?ll probably lose more
And if there?s anything left, it?s on the other shore

(chorus)
So can I dive into the water?
Slap this wicked face of fate
Don't know if it's a burning river
Or just another icy lake.
It's the tension of this moment
It's the things that we must lose
These clothes stuck to my body
Strip down and choose to swim.

This moment is terror ? this moment is fake
This moment has already been washed away.
My life is not future, my life is not past
My life is before words even break the glass.
And so I'm in silence, and so I'm in love
But I'm looking at nothing ? can I take the plunge?

(chorus)
Can I dive into the water
Drink the passion love creates?
Don't know if it?s a burning river
Or just another icy lake.
It's the tension of this moment
It's the things that we must lose
These clothes stuck to my body
I'll strip down and choose ? to swim

Well this silence is the answer
The fear has been submerged
Life in the center flowing
Will the true self please emerge?
This water ever burns me
This water ever heals.
What holds this flow together
But love that is the real?
Teach me to swim.

Swim.
