lyrics

Cover you ears and cover your eyes

Don't put it paper (Something might stick)
Quick throw it in the river before somebody sees it
My words sink the bottom ( The River's washing em out)
Diluting the truth I'm too afraid to say out loud
but you can hear it now.

Cover your flesh now
Drown the whole world out

I don't know what I'm saying (Don't think I ever will)
It just seems more obvious now, more than other times
Put me under a blanket (Of masked words)
Like a beggar man under a newspaper
Just walk on by me

I feel like the brown light crawling through the bottom of an empty bottle
It's not so clear

I can feel the river in my lungs
I can see my thoughts come out and bubble
I feel the words that are forcing past my tongue
I try to hold it in but only struggle
Til my message reaches the fresh air
But it's too distorted now for them to hear

Like the brown light crawling through the bottom of an empty bottle
It's not so clear
