Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My memory told me a secret
A breath of its last cigarette
The smokey haze, the scene was set
To question my own two best, mmm
[Verse 2]
My conditioning was fighting now
No buts were asked, so when and how
This settled dust vibrated out
The necessary walk about
Mmm
[Verse 3]
My hat bears shade upon my face
The moon creep in my  distant gaze
My soul begins and endless chase
To trap the memory in the maze
Mmm
[Verse 4]
I held it tight up by the neck
And rose my arms, extend the legs
The wind whispered on final chant
Dead it lies at peace, at rest
Mmm
[Verse 5]
Oh, capsules will sink before they swim
Inform your next of kin
Capsules will sink before they swim
Inform your next of kin
[Verse 6]
Oh
[Verse 7]
On board this ship to manic state
The pill was stored within the freight
She aimed to score but fairly lay
She missed the shots that she's to take
Mmm
[Verse 8]
I saw she wanted temporary
Guarded
It is complementary
Disuse, all my commentary
Trapped by her own memory
Mmm
[Verse 9]
Oh, capsules will sink before they swim
Inform your next of kin
Capsules will sink before they swim
Inform your next of kin
[Verse 10]
Capsules will sink before they swim
Inform your next of kin
Capsules will sink before they swim
Inform your next of kin
[Verse 11]
It's taking a hold of me
Hold with my hands tied
It's taking a hold of me, yeah
Hold with my hands tied
