Water On A Drowning Man

Sator · Basement Noise [2006]

You try so hard to save my sanity

You crawl you lie for the sake of vanity

It's not the last time and you know it's not the first

But everything you do will only make it worse



No I don't need help from you

I can destroy myself

I don't need help from you

I think you know too well

You're only pouring water on a drowning man



You say I'm lost without your helping hand

No way it's sad you just don't understand

I'll give you nothing and want nothing in return

I'll make my own mistakes and that's the way I learn



So I don't need help from you

I can destroy myself

I don't need help from you

I think you know too well

You're only pouring water on a drowning man



Well I'm gonna do it on my own

And that's the way it's got to be oh yeah

I can't tell you who I am because I am still a mystery to me



I roll the dice it's all a game to me

Don't need advice don't want security

I'm doing what I want yeah I can be the creep

I'm making promises I don't intend to keep



No I don't need help from you

I can destroy myself

I don't need help from you

I think you know too well

No I don't need help from you

I can destroy myself

I don't need help from you

I think you know too well

You're only pouring water on a drowning man
