Standing knee deep in cold water
swiftly moving somehow I
knew I'd lost something
x2
Wading waist deep I saw a book there in
the river waiting for me to find it there
I tried to read it neck deep treading water
but the tide it pulled me out to sea
Then with water in my eyes the words
began to rise from their place
They were beautiful and dread
I reached for them and fed on each phrase
They were honey on my lips but
then a bitter twist in my side
I knew they'd lay me in my grave
"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried
Post Chorus: x2
Sinking down deep
through cold water
heavy silence shadows
stirring in the gloom
What things that lay
sleeping down deep in
the darkness woke then
to find me in that tomb?
Then with water in my eyes the words
began to rise from their place
They were beautiful and dread
I reached for them and fed on each phrase
They were honey on my lips but
then a bitter twist in my side
I knew they'd lay me in my grave
"Is there no one who can save me?" I cried
And when I lost all hope to look
someone took that heavy
book from my hands all
its weight they set aside after
they had satisfied its demands
I felt white and black reverse
and the lifting a curse from my heart
Then like one receiving sight
I beheld a brilliant light in the dark
x3, (hold)
