[Lyric] Bridge Song (Sidi Bou Said)

Shadows at my back
Living, breathing
Do you know my name?
Scouting on the waves
Fighting, gasping
Do you know who I am?

Feel the shapeless form of my fair dying, desperate
Do you feel it too?
Then come on in, come on in and be drowning
Giving

My body cannot hide me
From things I have inside me
I try to fathom my fears
Behold my crocodile tears
I hate weakness
I hate weakness
I hate my own weakness

Standing on the shore
Trembling, dreaming
Feel the pressure behind
Down into the waves
Violent, changing
Peering tentatively
Know inside myself that I can’t take a step forward
Bridges ill and too long
I failed again, and feel all alone as I stand still
Frightened

My body cannot hide me
From things I have inside me
I try to fathom my fears
Behold my crocodile tears
I hate weakness
I hate weakness
I hate my own weakness

(It’s wide and long and stretches out and stretches out and stretches out
And if I take a step on it and try to cross I know I’ll drown)
It’s wide and long and stretches out and stretches out and stretches out
And if I take a step on it and try to cross I know I’ll drown
And water dashing down below
Thick and heavy just like tar
Petrified to stumble fast
Oil and grease and water flow

My body cannot hide me
From things I have inside me
I try to fathom my fears
Behold my crocodile tears
My weak limbs cannot hide me
From doubts I have inside me
I try to fathom my fears
Behold my crocodile tears
