Drownings Lyrics

[Verse 1]
November cold, funeral grey
No flowers, light the day
There she stands unloved and widowed
Unmoved and withered, she prays
Duty came to bare
Or she wouldn't had invited him
All go together there
Who loves, who really hated him?
She just wanted to make sure the bugger was dead
Then she turned her back with the flick of her head
Never to go back again
Never to feel the pain

[Verse 2]
I've lived inside a box
Every day a little bit tighter
And all the bad would stop
If every day I was a little bit quieter
Any port in a stroll
No anchor in a plagued town
And all kept me warm
Overboard and drowned
I just wanted to make sure the peace was kept
But you turned your back as I silently wept
The best years of my life
Waiting for you to be kind
Alone, alone, alone
Nothing to add, alone
Alone, alone, alone
No one to add, alone
She cried a single tear
Held back through the years
She cursed the man who tormented her
Leaving her alone

[Verse 3]
As we stand on the crossroads to a far away place
Of heaven, of choices we make
Take my hand and I'll lead you astray
Or off the world, [?] plate
When the times come
When the chickens come home to roost
Who would be resolute?
And who would desert their post?

[Verse 4]
So tired [?]
I'll teach you to believe one day
If you can't exempt the web that I spin
I'll employ you, destroy you, whatever it takes
And when you realize it was your fault in the first place
But doubting my eyes, I deceive me, you believed me
It makes me feel strong
I'm vindicated of my [?]

[Verse 5]
You can't know what it's like to hate
To hate the mirror, the face that stares
That failed by being afraid
Because failure's too much to bear
To be one step ahead
But the noise of the fearless
It's all that's in my head
It drowns the stillness
I just want you to look at me without [?]
It could set me free of this animal's prison
Never to go back again
Never to feel the pain

[Verse 6]
Alone, alone, alone
Nothing to add, alone
Alone, alone, alone
No one to add, alone
And he cried a solid tear
Each brown through the years
And cursed the guard who forsaken him
Leaving him alone

[Verse 7]
My life is almost gone
Pray God, may I have another one, please?
I'm just a child trapped and he's very afraid
One more chance, let me start again
