She Made My Waters Sweet (Melody)

*Dedicated to Senses Fail, "Let it Enfold You"


....the waters were made sweet
+-------------------------------[Melody, Im tired of the Bitterness of Life]

Scorching sun
Tumbleweeds wasting
Tumbleweeds pass by and the sand stings
my eyes at night when I gaze at stars
and the cold breeze turns malevolent before I sleep
and Ive been walking in the wilderness far too long
seeking salvation
and paradise; Egypt (Jennifer) at my back
tears for her left behind when my waves of resignation crashed
over her chariots

Ive been thirsty for (love) so long
that even my heart is parched
that even my heart has dry lips
the patience I flung over my shoulders
and the silver and gold of false hope plundered before I left
is wearing thin
Melody,
life without you is Marah, it is bitter
and all I can show for myself is this complaining
even before faith and reverie
Moses and Miriam standing right in front of me

You are God's tree to me
tall, slender and strong – green leaves
and a beautiful visage...
I remember the moment we stared at each other in class
I wanted to cast you into the waters of my despair (Marah)
and have you transform them
brown to blue
impure to pure
loneliness to companionship, silence and disregard
to warm attentiveness
you are like an answer to my prayers of displeasure
making my heart flutter
because the more I think about you, the cup of our future
tastes sweet

(Please let my heart drink the sweet waters of your love...)

------------------------------[PLEASE...?]
Exodus 15:23-25

And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.



SENSES FAIL LYRICS "Let It Enfold You"

So the lie now is my weapon
Like a bush dried withered in the sun
With this spark I'll go up in flames.
I'd lay my guts out but they're too small to see
It's kinda cute how I pretend to be
Everything but the instrument I am.

Peace or happiness
So let it enfold you

A birth to life is what I'm after
My first name won't be my last one
Let the light just drip into your eyes.

So it's true my words are contrived
I tell lies just to get into your mind
I'm as fake as a widow's smile.
This mask of glass is what I choose to wear
So I won't ever have the need to bear
The total truth to anyone but me.

Peace or happiness
So let it enfold you

A birth to life is what I'm after
My first name won't be my last one
Let the light just drip into your eyes.
The light (the light) into (into) your eyes (your eyes) all night

I'm just a bad actor stuck with a **** script
All of my lines are cheap and the cast is weak
There was no music for the first time I got kissed
There was no femme fatale, my mistress wasn't rich.
So I've been formatted to fit your TV screen
The film went straight to tape, I'll bow out quietly.
So quietly. So quietly.

Please do this now I beg
Duct tape my arms and legs
Throw me into the sea
(Please save me, please save me)
(Please save me, please save me)
(Please save me, please save me)


Now watch the waves eat me
Setting my cold heart free
I'll wash ashore in weeks
(You can't save me, can't save me)

Now watch the waves eat me
Setting my cold heart free
I'll wash ashore in weeks
(You can't save me, you can't save me now)
