Done by the hands of a broken artist
You painted black where my naked heart is?

Shown on display through a soul still
breaking Aren't you proud you're the

you're the one that made me

then heard the water wake up
Chorus:
And I, I can still
hear that scream
It's still lingering
in the air everywhere
"Mother, please save me
grab my hand"

sink beneath the waves
Baby please breath for me
give me time I am here
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Hey where did you go?
Verse 2:
Were the angels that lonely?
Couldn't they suffice
for anybody else?
Can't everybody
just lie to me

Crying for me now
Every night on a Monday
I will visit the
same spot that I hate
Yes the place that baby loved
and now she can taste
it oh it took her away
Verse 3:
It's been five years since then
And when it hits September

He just gave me more pills
Verse 7:
But I saw you up there
Still floating by the river
God you always loved that river
I bet your heaven looks just like it

though it scares me now
But when I'm with you

deserve the
sounds of silence
I'd swear on a

never got to
it rocks me gently
silent silent
If I never surface

Hold my breath
It's silent silent

both sitting on sand
and her shoulders bare
nothing to demand of them
