Down the Drain

I fight a rising tide

One I've always known

It comes and it goes

And somewhere this road

Ahead

That stretches on for miles and miles

Ever on it goes

I really wouldn't mind

The rain to come and wash it all away

Away, down the drain

It feels as if at times

This line

Drawn in the sand will turn to dust

And it'll all get swallowed up

Just as I told you of the war

Death came and darkened down the door

Came back 'round to where I'd been before

Bottled up inside

Are the words we both know

We know all too well

Kept just out of mind

This life

It's heaven and lord, it is hell

A living, breathing hell
