Eldest 11 - Swamps

Текст песни

I remember watching you stand at the edge of the water
Eyes glazed…
I felt so helpless inside. I felt the strain in my eyes
I watched a soul purge a life
The dark clouds always surround me
It’s in the fight that sometimes I gave up and didn’t try
I owe my teachers everything for keeping me alive
When everything in this life just wanted me to die
I close my eyes, that deep tortured soul is mine…
There is no God here
Just me in the woods and nothing to fear
I’m from the Swamps and this is my home
(What you know about a mercy killing for something you love?)
I’m from the Swamps… Some never make it home
You’re on your own. (If you SINK YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN.)
I’m from the Swamps… Where wrong turns make you whole
(Toughen up or get Roughed up buttercup.)
I’m from the Swamps… Deep in my Rabbit Hole…
Where love is severed in the mud and cold…
I love the murky water. Dangerous and untold
Steady as she goes
Taking off our Church Clothes
Toss them in the water, see if they float
Pull out our knives and put in boats
From pillar to post. Blood soaked and brave souls
Echoes of ghosts
When it comes to love anything goes
I close my eyes, that deep tortured soul is mine…
There is no God here
Just me with in the woods and nothing to fear
I’m from the Swamps and this is my home
(What you know about a mercy killing for something you love?)
I’m from the Swamps… Some never make it home
You’re on your own. (If you SINK YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN.)
I’m from the Swamps… Where wrong turns make you whole
(Toughen up or get Roughed up buttercup.)
I’m from the Swamps… Deep in my Rabbit Hole…
Where love is severed in the mud and cold…
