Story Behind the Song
This was recorded with the help of Justin and his family, who were very generous with their computer, their time and their personal space.
Lyrics
Chlorine is put in the water I drink,
Turn on a tap and I find I can think,
It's harnessed as supply, it's on demand.
Water will rise up and cover the earth,
Water is something that we know has worth,
It falls out of the sky, it pools in ponds.
Stop talking small.
I didn't need to know.
I'm paralysed -
I can't shut my ears and my eyes are wide.
Chlorine is a poison in the water I drink,
Hidden in the folds of all the things that I think,
It flows out of machines into my taps.
Water covers 70% of the Earth,
Slides around in every crack and crevice of worth,
I'm sinking slowly, lost on a sea of maps.
I can shut
My eyes and ears
But I still feel the thirst to know.
I can try
To forget
But it's still spinning in my head.
No certainty,
For everything that's known there's something else.
Nobody can possibly, I feel,
Nobody can possibly
Know,
It's over me.
I feel that I think I know.
