Wake Up, Kind Water

from TOTONOKO by TOTONOKO

lyrics

I saw the crack of the capitol dome
the crashing swallows
oh, how they were quiet

and you
You were there in the crowd
all of the lights floating up
they're cheating innocence

Somewhere, wide eyed
I'll be your
wake up, kind water

And we were bare as the bodies of birds
all falling down in that curtain
We were giants
and you

You were right all along:
Nobody's not on the run
They're chasing innocence

Somewhere, wide eyed
I'll be your
wake up, kind water

I turned away and it was brighter
I turned away and it was brighter
I turned away and it was brighter
I turned away and it was brighter

The wind will rise as we try to reach out
and it'll ring every tower
'til the sound bring you

back to where you began
where all the good thing belong
I'm choosing innocence

Somewhere, wide eyed
I'll be your
wake up, kind water
