You give with your right hand
You take with your left
Submerge me in the water
Try to hold my breath
My right-hand holds my promise
It's colored a half-hearted white
Everybody is a casket
For their promise given free
You give with your right hand
You take with your left
Submerge me in the water
Try to hold my breath
My left-hand holds your flat head
That was shapen by your crib
The cold explores your body
Who's imperfection makes perfect
You give with your right hand
You take with your left
Submerge me in the water
Try to hold my breath
Against this stubborn, frustrated river
I yaw sharply, hold my breath
Semaphoring with both my hands
A perfect promise, imperfectly
