|
wide eyes under water salt burns them open |
|
keep hold of the rope keep on looking |
|
crumbs from the table kept us diving under |
|
but there's nothing left in the ocean |
|
pull in the rope |
|
half drowned and wet holding nothing |
|
chocking on hope |
|
the hands down our throats are such kind ones |
|
its the heaviest load but that's not my cross to carry |
|
empty bottle hands and they hold nothing |
|
cut these cobweb chains for they hold nothing |
|
toss some silver across to me a lead life ring to throw the drowning |
|
stopped halfway to the falling gate a lead life ring to throw the drowning |
|
cook sold the meals exchanged it for a horse |
|
which was carried for miles by the small ones |
|
crippled of fingers stealing a crust of bread |
|
make for the door hiding something |
|
leaving our hope |
|
replaced with self hating and loathing |
|
choking on dope |
|
the wine down our throats keeps us silent |
|
tell me what you are hiding from |
|
its dark in here I'd rather not say |
