Water Keeps Rising

A cover of “I Exist I Exist I Exist”
By Flatsound


Baby please
It's the way you speak
Forming words so easily
And I think of the way you think
It keeps me from falling asleep
In that grave I call a bed
Until you called me up and said

"I haven't stopped crying
My father's been drinking
I need a place to stay
I don't want to be here
He's saying the words that
He promised he would never say
That liquid he consumes
Makes him speak the truth"

And I said "No, it's not that at all
It's that bottle of lies for a troubled heart
It's standing on the edge of a mountain top
Screaming anything he wants
Like, "Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me”
Because I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist”




I wake up in the hallway, I'm looking for sunlight
With rays that will cure me of the pain that keeps my lungs tight
Ignoring the voices and feelings that tell me
To get out of this house
I can't make them stop
I'm just like my mom

And you said, "No, these demons will fall
You're so precious to us all"

And I said, "I, I can't do this alone
I still need you to hold

So don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go”

'Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid”

“So don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go”

“Because I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist”

I Exist I Exist I Exist

Under The Radar

Tired of Your Face

Inga Copeland- city

I'm not one for to complain
But I don't like this fucking rain
It never stops it never drains
It never stops it never fucking drains

The water's rising all the time
Rising higher than I climb
I'm not surprised I did the crime
I'm not surprised I'm doing time

Now I bail
Bail and bail
To no avail
I'm so wet

I was hungry selling blood
I was thirsty sucking mud
Begging for begging for a flood
I was begging for begging for a flood

Now I bail
Bail and bail
To no avail
I’m so wet

Then I heard the sunny spiel
Of the Rainmaker “Deal"
Sweet raindrops raindrops I feel
Sweet sweet raindrops raindrops I feel

Now I bail
Bail and bail
To no avail
I’m so wet

I’m not one for to complain
But I don’t like this fucking rain
It never stops it never drains
It never stops it never fucking drains
