Sinking

Brand New - Sink

I don t want to let you go

But it hurts my hands to hold the rope

I won t be such an easy mark

You re no better then they say

And all the candles on the cake

All set fire to the gate

Turn the cannons towards the boat

Men were drowning in the moat

It was the end of all rowers oars

If you call then I m coming to get you

If you call then I m coming, now

You want to sink, so I m gonna let you

All I want s some earth and seed

But only grow the things I need

But first I must find my way back

And you go lay down on the track

At first I had an even keel

But now I m not sure what is real.

It s taken me this long to learn

That every dead is ate by worms

And once they re gone they don t return

I m coming to get you

Then the fire snuck into your bedroom

Now I m falling asleep to forget you

How darkly the dark hand met his end

He was withered and boney,

exposed for a phoney

But we heed the last words that he penned

Haste to disgrace the traitor.

Do not wait til later

I don t think that you ve got to pretend

I see God in birds and Satan in long words

But I know what you need in a friend

So now when I leave you,

I hope I won t see you

Well, I m coming to get you
