Lyrics:
I am not the devil under the water Pulling you down by your old wooden ankles Splitting and shriveling Seeping out of me God, I’m afraid of the songs you’ve been singing me God I cannot hear your voice quite so clearly And I am the walls crumbling down We are clearly the saints No, we are not afraid Our names cannot be engraved in the sand I am just a sinner, pulling my splinters out Chipping away at a crackling flame Well I felt my shoulders begin to get lighter When I realized that it all would get harder than this But I don’t believe in the surface We can’t see through the sheets No, we are not asleep And I will not be the leaves on your tree I am the tides I’m the beggar left for dead on the side And I am the walls crumbling down They’re watching me fall through the windows of saints They’re making me something I am not Your brother got killed in the snow while you slept But you never grew out of the secrets you kept To keep all his light-headed hoping alive Carried for miles inside of your mind Now I’m writing down all of my saintly complaints And pulling the strings they’ve attached to my face But I’m done haunting houses And cursing at God And filling up spaces with black and white fog I saw my whole life in the glass on the floor Well what did you think all of that shaking was for? Now I’m floating downstream Chasing after my bones Well I guess I grew old But I never went home
