At least the water isn't fake
It can be touched, it can be tasted
It smells of the Salton Sea
and like that faulted little lake
the one that shakes your reality
you get swallowed by the quake
At least the water tells the truth
It doesn't let you up for air
just to steal away your youth
It won't shower you with compliments
and build upon your confidence
while secretly the opposite
the whole time you're being used
At least the water doesn't lie
It doesn't fill your lungs
then pretend that you have time
It won't swell up inside your chest
wearing a smile and a dress
taking your last breath
but not kind enough to let you die
At least the water is honest
It won't put your faith in a future
then reveal itself a false prophet
She said you couldn't live without her
and hook and line you bought it
so when you're signing your farewell
this is exactly what she promised
