lyrics

In the skeletal remains
Of a pool long since drained
Filled with rain,
Reclaimed by nature

Through the dark, I wade
As if in its Glory days
Knowing that I’ll make myself sick
From the water
Knowing all my tears and rage
Could load a revolver

I used to think, you must be the water I drink
Holding me down in these waters, down beneath
Singing to the sound of my screaming

But now I see

In the dark I wait
Right here where I once sunbathed
With all my dreams unfit for day
With all my tears and all my rage

I used to think you must be the water I drink
Holding me down in these waters, down beneath
Singing to the sound of my screaming
I used to dream of the day it’d be just you and me
Like the Wild West
Both of us shooting ’til one of us was dead

You cruel, cruel man

If you feel like mist that graciously draws edges silken, as bitter clouds burst in droplets – a burnt hand would warily seek their comforting warmth – to let you wash your shame in tears; luxuriously tonguing atonement&salt , then this is what I recommend to you. DNM von Siebenthal
