Golden Cut

I watched your faith ground down to paste and powder
Treading water in a flat sea wasting power
Can you learn to be still and live to swim again another day
I'll be your body of water
I'm the lagoon the ocean didn't swallow

Recessive gene, swimming upstream
Dangerously trying to break free
Grounded here by love and fear
In a time well beyond the time to leave
You are your mother's mother's mother's spiraling golden cut
So don't cheat yourself out of a good life

Swan down feather on duckweed
Possums up our fig tree
I'll carry them with me when I see myself out
My blood is full of stories in a language I don't know
I should've learned it long ago
Should've known the voices I'd follow

Recessive gene, swimming upstream
Dangerously trying to break free
Grounded here by love and fear
In a time well beyond the time to leave
You are your mother's mother's mother's spiraling golden cut
So don't cheat yourself out of a good life

Recessive gene, swimming upstream
Trying to get out of here
My blood is full of stories in a language I should know
Should've learned it long ago
I am my mother's mother's mother's mother's gold

Life it always finds a way
Love is written in your veins
Life it always finds a way
Life is written in you
