Lovely live version! ❤
Does anyone have the lyrics? Most parts are quite clear to understand, but what is this second word from the beginning that comes up later again? drialing? draining? derailing? 😅

[@B_O_D_I_E_S]

Here you go:
on dry land
endless
breathe in
I want it
and I’m holding on for us
take it in the state I’m in
and I’m holding on for us
heavy in the state I’m in
and when it comes
void hollow
fill me in
cup-shapen
and I’m holding on for us
head up in the state I’m in
and I’m holding on for us
shiver in the state I’m in
on dry land
let me water you
and I’m here with pail in hand
to collect the rain
and I’m holding on for us
heavy in the state I’m in
and I’m holding on for us
hopeful in the state I’m in
and I’m holding on for us
head up in the state I’m in
and I’m holding on for us
shiver in the state I’m in

one lady was so dedicated to singing that she had her ribcage surgically moved to outside her body so she could have more space for her lungs

[@B_O_D_I_E_S]

😂 we take lung capacity very seriously

[@johnfrigo417]

[@AshBarkPerson]

[@berlinberlin5700]
