Swim Until You Can't See Land

I salute at the threshold of the North Sea of my mind
 And I nod to the boredom that drove me here to face the tide
 And I swim, I swim, oh swim
 ♪
 Dip a toe in the ocean, oh how it hardens and it numbs
 The rest of me is a version of man built to collapse in crumbs
 And if I hadn't come now to the coast to disappear
 I may have died in a landslide of rocks and hopes and fears
 So I swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
 Swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?

 Up to my knees now, do I wade, do I dive?
 The sea has seen my like before, though it's my first and perhaps last time
 Let's call me a baptist, call this a drowning of the past
 She is there on the shoreline throwing stones at my back
 So I swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
 Swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?

 And the water is taller than me
 And the land is a marker line
 All I have is a body adrift in water, salt and sky
 So I swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
 Swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
 Swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Swim until you can't see land
 Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
 Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
 Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
 Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
