High Waters

Stripped of all emotion

Ready to play ball

Rolling with the punches

Never stealing small

Lay it down dirty

Play it back clean

I hear what you're saying

Don't know what you mean

It's a scheme

I have to say

You're only facing me

To turn away

But I'm here to stay

Shallowed by pride

I'm gonna need you

So, I'm on your side

Turning in the same coin

No one seems to mind

Total social failure

Always paid in kind

What a find

All burn in grey

When you have nothing

You can't turn away

But I wanna stay

Came on the line

High waters later

It fell from my hand

But I'm on the way

Still far to go

Caught in my head

Can't dig it

Some will say the father is prey
