Moddi - Run to the Water (music video)

Fast as you can Run to the water Cool as I am I'll give you shelter This place is built to make you smaller To keep your face out of the light Around the city's growing taller through the night And then a symphony of laughter Cuts though the air of foreign tongues And you are back at where you started: All alone So fast as you can Run to the water Safe in my hands I'll bring you home There's nothing I can do, There's water coming through, I can sense it And I swim the whole night through, But in spite of all I do I'm defenceless So I'll try to pretend I was always alone And with a handful of pills I'll divide us 'cause with millions of miles between arrow and bow It is easier to kill it with silence So to hide from our hundreds you went underhill Where the treeroots grew into your bones I tell all my friends you are living there still In the teeth of the chaos above Hammer hits head but the nail doesn't move Though the blows throwing sparks all around It is never too late But today is too soon, So for now you must stay underground So fast as you can Run to the water ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Official music video for 'Run to the Water', taken from the album Set the House on Fire, released on Propeller Recordings 2013.
