lyrics

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 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
