Watershed Lyrics

This song took me some time to piece together. I just wanted to share the lyrics with some folks. This will be on Lonely Are The Brave's upcoming full length album due out on August 15th. --more details to come. I will be recording these vocals on Tuesday June 30th. - Davey

Watershed

Verse 1
Thunderstorms brew and release into mountain streams.
The land shape shifts; it's dancing with the bank's width.
The water streaks fingers inviting me to consume.
But dare I drink the water that has flowed over this land?

Chorus 1
Constant and unyielding; water flows
Caressing life into new being
Nourishing the natural
Our watershed supports our sanctity

Verse 2
Bulldozer's move earth into mountain streams.
The land shape shifts; impressed upon by man's makeshift.
The water's streaks envelope the land's toxicity.
But dare I drink the water that has flowed over this land?

Chorus 2
The dead zone expands capital
An algal blooms an economy
As we succumb to the undertow
Our watershed magnifies our impurity

Verse 3
Heavy with the weight of progress for progresses sake
The eastern to western shoreline subsides into the wake.
When the pavement holds all that the water can't take
the decimated expanse will bring the end of our days.
