Dirty Water
About:
“The 2005 tsunami had hit. Bren and I were writing in the basement, playing guitar and jamming…we were in a state of shock. I started writing lyrics and melody, and Dirty Water kind of wrote itself… we didn’t ever look back to re-write it. It was one vocal and one lyric…we kept it the way it was. – Alexz
Dirty Water
This broke the news today
It’s been said a thousand ways
let’s fix the mess we’ve made
It’s just begun
The sky falls a million times
We hear bells but we can’t find
A safe day to walk in blind
It’s just begun
Turn out the lights and sleep tight tonight
But I want to feel
To take it all away
I want to feel
The way they felt that day
In dirty water
The kids will learn to play beneath the sun without someone
These wishes wash to shore
These goods aren’t good no more
You’re where you’ve never been before
It’s just begun
It’s still a sunny afternoon
The sky looks so perfect blue
But this heart couldn’t beat any faster
Turn out the lights and sleep tight tonight
But I want to feel
To take it all away
I want to feel
The way they felt that day
In dirty water
The kids will learn to play beneath the sun without someone
Without someone
