[00:02.00]Frightened Rabbit - Swim Until You Can't See Land
[00:04.00]
[00:14.99]We salute at the threshold of the North Sea in my mind
[00:20.64]And a nod to the boredom that drove me here to face the tide and swim.
[00:29.08]I swim. Oh, swim.
[00:38.25]Dip the toe in the ocean. Oh how it hardens and it numbs.
[00:44.54]The rest of me is a version of man, built to collapse into crumbs.
[00:50.30]And if I hadn't come down to the coast to disappear
[00:56.37]I may have died in a land-slide of the rocks, the hopes and fears.
[03:36.11][03:11.48][02:12.81][01:02.04]So Swim until you can't see land.
[03:41.82][03:38.98][03:30.07][03:27.14][03:24.10][03:18.29][03:15.03][02:31.10][02:28.19][02:25.19][02:19.04][02:15.93][01:20.12][01:17.01][01:14.19][01:08.17][01:05.58]Swim until you can't see land.
[04:05.56][04:02.66][03:59.71][03:56.71][03:54.03][03:50.92][03:47.64][03:44.81][03:33.09][03:21.20][02:33.99][02:22.07][01:23.20][01:11.08]Are you a man or are you a bag of sand?
[01:48.95]Up to my knees now, do I wait? Do I dive?
[01:55.03]The sea has seen my like before though it's my first and perhaps last time.
[02:01.22]Let's call me a baptist, call this the drowning of the past.
[02:07.24]She's there on the shoreline throwing stones at my back.
[02:59.84]Now the water's taller than me and the land is a marker line
[03:06.36]All I am is a body adrift in water, salt and sky.
