Manmade God - Swamp Water Lyrics

I've been sittin

With the weight of the world

On my shoulders

And I'm feelin' like the sweat

Off the back of some slave

Layin' tracks with the sun in his eyes

And I'm drifting

Down the path of the swamp

That I've swallowed

And I'm beating off the scales

That belong to a snake

Come at me with blood in his eyes



[Chorus:]

But hey it's alright

It's alright, it's alright

Ya know I made it through

Another day



Well I'm steamin'

As I wade through the broth

In the belly of an overripe monkey

Who screams with disease

As the worms crawl in through his eyes

And I'm bleedin'

Through the cracks in my face

As I wallow through the salt of rejection

That eats through my knees

Reaching in to pull out my spine



[Chorus ?2]



Well I know I'm headed for a breakdown

I know the time is right

I know I'm headed for a breakdown

I know the time is right

But yeah

You gotta keep on pushin' forward

'Till you reach the risin' sun



[Chorus ?2]



It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

I made it through another day.



Well I know I'm headed for a breakdown

I know the time is right

And I know that she will come to me
