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 than 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 the rowers' oars
If you call then I’m coming to get you
If you call then I’m coming, now
If you call then I’m coming to get you
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
In Youth 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
If you call then I’m coming to get you
If you call then I’m coming, now
If you call then I’m coming to get you
You want to sink, so I’m gonna let you
I’m coming to get you
If you call then I’m coming to get you
If you call then I’m coming to get you
You want to sink, so I’m gonna let 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 till 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
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 till later
If you call then I’m coming to get you
If you call then I’m coming, now
If you call then I’m coming to get you
You want to sink, so I’m gonna let you
Well, I’m coming to get you
If you call then I’m coming, now
If you call then I’m coming to get you
You want to sink, so I’m gonna let you
Then the fire snuck into your bedroom
Now I’m falling asleep to forget you
