Shower

[Verse 1]
My mother is dead
My children don't let me sleep
The money is a problem
On perpetual repeat
My wife is angry
My lover is upset

[Chorus]
So I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
Is no waste at all

[Post-Chorus]
The hotter the better
I'm at home in the steam
I suspend all decisions
With seven types of cream

[Verse 2]
I don't speak the language
In the city I live
I oncе followed a girl
Now I've endеd up here
[Verse 3]
The weather is freezing
And I've figured it out
Blondes lead you north
Brunettes take you south
So make sure your lover
Comes from a sunny place

[Chorus]
I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
For my wasted heart

[Post-Chorus]
Hotter than most can handle
You're welcome to try
The old systems fail
Those I honed all my life

[Verse 4]
The war keeps on going
No one knows what for
A hundred years of trauma
Lead to a hundred more
Another madman in power
'Cause only mad man seek power
Their eternal revenge
That time you laughed in the shower
[Verse 5]
Everyone is depressed
Everyone is displaced
We used to be together
Now we're all over the place
I always sought newness
Now I'm retracing my steps
Seeking what's familiar
Scattered over continents

[Verse 6]
Life without a mother
Just isn't the same
My loyal protector
Now a bag of grain
I wish I could call her
Miss her voice and her smile

[Chorus]
I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
For my soul's recall

[Post-Chorus]
Just beyond the bathroom
Could be my childhood home
Being an only child
Means that you mourn alone
