Carnation

[Verse 1]
My memory told me a secret
A breath of its last cigarette
A smokey haze, a scene was set
To question my own interest

My conditioning was fighting now
No butts were asked, so when and how
The settled dust vibrated out
The necessary walk about

My hat bears shade upon my face
The moon creeping my distant gaze
My soul begins an endless chase
To trap the memory in the maze

I held it tight up by the neck
And rose my arms, it's dangling legs
The wind whispered one final check
Dead it lies at peace, at rest

[Chorus]
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin

[Verse 2]
On board the ship to manic state
The pill was stored within the freight
She aimed to score but fairly late
She missed the shot, such is to take

I saw she wanted temporary
Guarded it as complementary
Disused all my commentary
Trapped by her own memory

[Chorus]
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin

[Chorus]
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin

[Outro]
It’s taking a hold of me
Oh with my hands tied
It’s taking a hold of me
Oh with my hands tied
