lyrics

A bank of a river I saw.
It was emptied I thought.
To build the roof and the walls of a home.
Its too bad, I'd rather drown alone.
From the glove of a car to my hand,
From my hand to my mouth I'll be damned.
And the burn seeks straight through my throat.
I'm sick, man. Yeah I know.

A lush, a drunk I am not.
I had dreams once my god.
So its bloom and burst along.
This is not, where I belong.

A bank of a river I saw.
It was northern I thought.
I wish I had written the words down.
Fucking hate the way my voice sounds.
So - I am not the catalyst?
Needed to end my own life,
I'm supposed to find,
someone to care like I can't?

I can't.

Like I could.
Well I would.
Like I could.

Well I can't.

Tough luck.

A lush, a drunk I am not.
I had dreams once my god.
So its bloom and burst along.
This is not, where I belong.

Do they make, coffins for men like me?
There's no worth. instead we're sent to sea.
Do they make, coffins for men like me?
There's no worth, instead we're sent to sea.
They don't make, coffins for men like me.
There's no worth. There's no weight - trust me.
