◯ LYRICS ◯

[Learn to swim,
Swim in the big tear]

everywhere
there are lies being spoken
everywhere
there are hearts being broken

they’re all part of the big tear falling down on us
they’re all part of the big tear falling

when I was nine
the air started to smell of salt
I looked up and saw the sky
fill up with water
a big eye staring down at me
ready to wrap me in his tear
I tried to run
but that drop would get everyone

[and here we are stuck in the tear
But you’ll learn to swim]

I tried to run
but that drop would get everyone

[and here we are stuck in the tear
But you’ll learn to swim]

everywhere I see heads getting older
everywhere I see minds getting smaller

all is part of the big tear falling down on us
all is part of the big tear falling

I tried to run - but that drop would get anyone
[one big tear comes floating by]

I tried to run - but that drop would get anyone

[and here we are stuck in the tear
But you’ll learn to swim]

slowly I learned how to swim
between the floating limbs here

in the tear I heard hearts breaking
every other minute

I had longed for shorelines
looking for some sand to land on

now I see that shore was fiction
there’s no getting out of floating

and here we are - stuck in the tear
but you’ll learn to swim here

[don’t try to run]
