Awash

"Awash" is a song by The Gliding Faces from the album Dark matters. Dan wrote the music and lyrics, while Max did a splendid job of making sense of Dan's slightly odd lyrical rhythm.

Lyrics

Walking along the shore
 I can't take any more
 Of your bullshit
 I'm done with it
 
 You don't behave like you oughta
 Now our ship is taking on water
 You're the suspect
 Who caused us to be shipwrecked
 
 But like a moth to the flame
 I reset the board and get back in the game
 It's folly
 To say sorry
 
 So I'm awash with anger
 With you and with me
 Awash with fear of what this could be
 Wash me away
 That's the price I pay
 
 The smell of sea in the air
 The salt stiffens my hair
 I could visit
 But I'm done with it
 
 I was caught in your riptide
 But the gulf between us is too wide
 And it's still folly
 For me to say sorry
 
 So I'm awash with anger
 With you and with me
 Awash with fear of what this could be
 Wash me away
 That's the price I pay
 
 So I'm awash with anger
 With you and with me
 Awash with fear of what this could be
 Wash me away
 That's the price I pay
