Bags of Water

Every single person you have ever feared
Who made you want to hide away and disappear
Who laughed at your misfortune and then called you weird
They're mostly just bags of water

The kid who broke your glasses in the second grade
Who took your lunch money in the playground shade
Who made you feel helpless and so afraid
They're mostly just bags of water

All the people on the street, are just skin upon the meat
With a scaffolding of bone and sinew
It's a beautiful machine, but it's lipids and proteins
And carbohydrates locked within you

So when you want to talk to the girl down the block
And you're scared of feeling like a stalker
Just remember that you both, underneath your fancy clothes
Are only just bags of water

The girl who you took to the senior prom
Who went to freshen up but then she took so long
The guy you found her kissing in the parking lot
They're both just bags of water

The driver in the semi in the passing lane
Who's backing up the traffic all the way to Spain
The cop who pulls you over when you drive like a Saint
Are mostly just bags of water

All the people on the street, are just skin upon the meat
With a scaffolding of bone and sinew
It's a beautiful machine, but it's lipids and proteins
And carbohydrates locked within you

So when you want to talk to the girl down the block
And you're scared of feeling like a stalker
Just remember that you both, underneath your fancy clothes
Are only just bags of water

Before you start, to think you're smart
And different from the rest
Like there's something deep and so unique
That's hiding in your flesh
Don't forget that you
Are a bag of water too

All the people on the street, are just skin upon the meat
With a scaffolding of bone and sinew
It's a beautiful machine, but it's lipids and proteins
And carbohydrates locked within you

So when you want to talk to the girl down the block
And you're scared of feeling like a stalker
Just remember that you both, underneath your fancy clothes
Are only just bags of water
You were only just a bag of water
