Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rickety raggedy lost boy beating
Off laughing at his face in a spoon
Same lame gamers in your sister's basement
Breaking ties with the animal world
[Verse 2]
An unspoken curse but the pain is real
Your cousin and his girlfriend behind the wheel
Shatter proof class on the passenger side
Covered in red and the moons blue light
On the curb with a blanket and your blood shot eyes
Now you're steeping in the river into waist high water
Let the current take it all away-ay-ay-ay
[Verse 3]
Radiant, traceless, clear, and empty
See the cheerleaders up on the rail
The beautiful sage of the anti-gods
Applies color to a press on nail
[Verse 4]
The lights flash blue and red all night
Your cousin laid out under ghostly white
Empty bottle on the backseat floor
Filled with dreams from a forgotten shore
And your heart left open like a bedroom door
Now you're stepping to the shoulder and the wind grows colder
Let the current take it all away-ay-ay-ay
[Verse 5]
Seas rise
Soft and silent countries
Shed their garments, love lies
Very deeper, deeper, deepest, can you you find me
[Verse 6]
In the southern branch of the energy center
That resides within my throat
There's a string bean lost by grinning sideways
Drowning in his coat
[Verse 7]
A blood filled skull and a curved knife
Held by his mother, daughter, lover, wife
Seen in a dream that's half a life
That shatters as he wakes and he shakes his head
He knows star crossed lovers always wake up dead
But he feels the cold world just spinning instead
Now you're stepping in the river into waist high water
Let the current take it all away-ay-ay
[Verse 8]
Way-ay-ay-ay-ay
Way-ay-ay-ay-ay
Way-ay-ay
