Lyrics
[Verse 1] I know what I wanted I know what I wanted I know how I wanted this to be You go down to the water Drink down of the water Walk up off the water, leave it be But this is not my dream, sister It is cold in Heaven I'm not sprouting wings [Chorus] I'm drowning me I'm drowning me, yeah [Verse 2] Brother, can you see those birds? They don't look to Heaven But they don't need religion, they can see They go down to the water Drink down of the water Fly up off the water, leave them be But this is not my time, sister It is cold in Heaven And no one's coming after me [Chorus] I'm drowning me (Breathing ourselves) I'm drowning me (Breathing ourselves) [Verse 3] You know I am tired Cold and bony tired Nothing's gonna save me, I can see I can't say I'm fearful I can't say I'm not afraid But I am not resisting, I can see Now, I don't need a heaven And I don't need religion I am in the place where I should be I am breathing water I am breathing water You know a body's got to breathe [Chorus] I'm drowning me (Breathing ourselves, breathing ourselves) I'm drowning me (Breathing ourselves) I'm drowning me, yeah (Breathing ourselves, breathing ourselves) I'm drowning me (Breathing ourselves)
