Pushing the Tides - Mastodon

Another prick of a thorn

The body reaches deep

As I choke the situation

Seeming clever and wise

Clouded beyond the dark cells

I know not what drips inside me

Such a brilliant realization

Pushing the tides

Trying not to go down and taken under

Pushing the tides

Try to keep my head above the water

Pushing the tides

Leading us to prevail

And all we desire

Pushing the tides

With every ounce of strength I have
