lyrics

Dig a hole
Fill it up with
Ashes from the pictures on the walls
We'll sing
Songs that take us
Back to days when everybody laughed
A time when all of us would play
With silent shadows in the sea
The blurry images I loved
Were always there to comfort me
We're sailing on a burning ship
Save yourselves and leave the others
Everybody has to learn to sink or swim
Tear it down
Into nothing
Lay the pieces all across the floor
We'll sink
In the ocean
You will scream and I will hold you down
Slipping through the cracks
Blindly following yourselves
Calling me for help
Funny how you never helped me
