[Verse 1] I salute at the threshold Of the North Sea of my mind And I nod to the boredom That drove me here to face the tide [PreChorus] And I swim I swim, oh swim [Verse 2] Dip a toe in the ocean Oh, how it hardens and it numbs The rest of me is a version of man Built to collapse in crumbs And if I hadnt come now To the coast to disappear I may have died in a landslide Of rocks and hopes and fears [Chorus] So I swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? [Interlude] [Verse 3] Up to my knees now Do I wade? Do I dive? The sea has seen my like before Though its my first and perhaps last time Lets call me a baptist Call this a drowning of the past She is there on the shoreline Throwing stones at my back [Chorus] So I swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? [Interlude] [Bridge] And the water is taller than me And the land is a marker line All I have is a body Adrift in water, salt and sky [Chorus] So I swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Swim until you cant see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? [Outro] Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
