[luizs]

Lyrics:

Born with a scar far above my head
I count the stars crowding my vision
I feel nothing instead
I feel nothing instead

Soak in decay, spoil into loam
I give what I take but it never feels enough
So I give nothing instead
I give nothing instead

Take me to the water
I am not free but I am sorry
I am stone
You should know I would never let you down
You should know I would never let you drown

Loan by the skin
A vessel with two hands
Touch what I can before I hand it in
So I touch nothing instead
I touch nothing instead

Born into debt, a line of no request
I pay what I can but the rest, I have no chance
So I pay nothing instead
I pay nothing instead

Take me to the water
I am not free but I am sorry
I am stone
You should know I will never let you down
You should know I will never let you drown

Take me to the water
Let me soak in slaughter
I will sink into the bed like a stone
Take me to the water
Let me soak in slaughter
I will sink into the bed like a stone

Take me to the water
I am not free but I am sorry
I am stone
You should know I will never let you down
You should know I will never let you drown

I remember when I first listened to this. I was sleeping in my car. That was 2017/2018. Wish I left a comment on the vid back then

This song and her album are 100% my favourite release this year, I related to the music and the lyrics so much,

[keithcollins]

This is a powerful song although for me it brings back terrible memories of being in a scary place in life I now listen to this beauty in better circumstances thank you 🙏🏻

Great music by Zola Jesus once again. I'm feeling the dark vibes.

The love child of David Lynch and Lisa Gerrard. Majestic, pure, haunting.... brilliant.

Loving the new Zola Jesus stuff so much. Okovi is going to be amazing.

I listen her for the first time - this is my first track ever from her - goosebumps... definitively YES !!!

Cannot wait until Okovi's release. You are the ultimate inspiration.

''Take me to the water
I am not free but I am sorry
I am stone''
This reminds me of a haiku. Cool structure.
