lyrics

The Water is Poison (The Earthquake)

An earthquake starts
You made it start
And so, the ground gives way
Your feet move now
You feel safe on higher ground
The mountain begins to crumble
The mountain you built will fall

You don't move
'Cause when you move
The ground shakes

The air grows thick
The air is smoke
You fill your lungs with it
You drink the lake
You have no choice
You find the water is poison
The rain you made is poison

You dive right in
And when you're in
You start to sink
So you don't move
And you drown in it

It moves with you
Because you made it
If you don't move
You'll go down with it
