William Cashion - Ancient Water lyrics

Ancient like the water Dissolves my selfish leanings and all the others Guide me You beside me With conviction—my lost invention My child is starving But you keep me, you keep me I've been locked and you're the key You keep me, you keep me You keep me 'til I'm ready to be free Too many wasted days and nights Obsessed with the flickering bits of my life Forgetting what giving and living can be—what it can mean First forgiving myself and stepping outside of my own apathy To see, I just want to be Patient like the forest Stood through thousands fallen Watched the changing evening a million times or more Lead me to the water Take me to the other side And know how much it means, to me Cuz you keep me, you keep me I've been locked and you're the key Too many wasted days and nights Obsessed with the flickering bits of my life I've forgotten what giving and living can be—what it can mean First steps to being better is doing the smallest things Cuz you keep me, you keep me You keep me I've been locked and you're the key You keep me, you keep me You keep me 'til I'm strong enough to see To be free
