Mud and Black

The floorboards groan under the weight of the air

I'm sitting in the dark but I know you're there

Cold coffee on the table skin's turning grey

I haven't seen the sun in a week and a day

Dust settling on the heavy velvet curtains

Nothing is real but the pain is for certain

I trace the cracks running down the wall

Waiting for the ceiling to finally fall

And the river's rising up to the porch

I'm burning the bridge while I carry the torch

Yeah the mud is thick and the water is black

There ain't no path that can lead me back

Way down way down

Heavy water all around

Silence is the only sound

Take me way down way down

Way down way down

Keep me safe and keep me bound

Feet don't ever touch the ground

Take me way down way down

I see your face in the smoke and the ash

A beautiful wreck a slow motion crash

You said forever but forever's a lie

Just a long way to fall just a slow way to die

And the roots are wrapping round my bones

I'm building a kingdom out of broken stones

Yeah the mud is thick and the water is black

And I know damn well I ain't coming back

Way down way down

Heavy water all around

Silence is the only sound

Take me way down way down

Way down way down

Keep me safe and keep me bound

Feet don't ever touch the ground

Take me way down way down

Heavy water takes me under

Heavy water all around

Keep me bound

Don't let me touch the ground

Let the darkness win

Let it in let it in

Way down

Just heavy water

Way down
