Lyrics for The Currents

Roll up another cigarette Using the minute that it takes To think about the power of your words We're living in the currents you create We're sinking in the pool of your mistakes So stub it out, your podium awaits Oh my God, my God I can't quite believe my ears I'm swimming to the surface I'm coming up for air 'Cause you're making me feel nervous I need to clear my head I can't believe my ears I don't wanna believe my ears I'm swimming to the surface I'm coming up for air How can you think you're serious? Do you even know what year it is? I can't believe the scary points you make Still living in the currents you create Still sinking in the pool of your mistakes Won't you stop firing up the crazies? Oh my God, my God I can't quite believe my ears I'm swimming to the surface I'm coming up for air 'Cause you're making me feel nervous I need to clear my head I can't believe my ears I don't wanna believe my ears I'm swimming to the surface I'm coming up for air "When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against the other You know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives" Oh, I need a breath I need a breath Fill my lungs Let me fill my lungs? Oh, I need a breath I need a breath Fill my lungs Let me fill my lungs Oh, I need a breath I need a breath Fill my lungs Let me fill my lungs Oh, I need a breath I need a breath Fill my lungs Let me fill my lungs I'm swimming to the surface I'm coming up for air 'Cause you're making me feel nervous I need to clear my head I can't believe my ears I don't wanna believe my ears I'm swimming to the surface I'm coming up for air
