"Streams" lyrics [Click here]
// 1. Streams
Oooh, now that I am free
swimming with the many fishes of the stream
Yeah, and I am welcome here
we all just connected swimmingly
Streams of life digress
like water running through my veins
I'm learning how to breathe
living underwater
I am deeper than the eye can see
Yeah, it was meant to be
now I'm flowing with the current of the stream
Streams of life digress
like water running through my veins
Running through my veins
Running through my veins
I start my life again
just as well this ain't the first stream I have swam
Cold water rushing to my brain
is thicker than the blood that's flowing through my veins
Streams of life digress
like water running through my veins
Streams of blood like liquid love
is rushing to my brain
// 2. Veins
It suddenly hits me in the heat of the sun
a product of fear, far from human
It suddenly hits me and crushes my world
like a tidal wave trapped in my shell
It suddenly hits me, what have I become?
Searching for answers in my aquarium
It suddenly bites me and poisons my veins
lost and unable to find my way
// 3. Digression
My chosen path, the direction that I take
is the consequence of your greatest mistake
When that day arrives, it's decision time
Which way will I turn?
Will I ever really learn?
If I'm shown the way, I will never be alone
The choice is mine in deciding where I'll go
All our souls digressed, we started as one
All our journeys will end at the same destination
Streams of life digress
like water running through my veins
Streams of blood like liquid love
is rushing to my brain
