dr. thunder

i know that you've been searching

for me elsewhere

in the cracks beneath your feet

in the spaces between walls

in the dark wells of the mirror

in the place i used to stand

i know that you've been searching

for me elsewhere

in the black pits of my mind

where the tar of my emotions

swirls black and ever thicker

where i retreat

to hide from life

i have the reaper in my heart

and black tar pits for eyes

i have the cold heart of the lost ones

and no love to tear us apart

i know that you've been searching

in the spaces between words

but let me tell you

there's nothing there to read

there to read

well i know that you've been searching

and you've looked inside your heart

but under oceans and in coffins

is a better place to start

place to start

you can't begin to know

the depths of the abyss

until you've lost it all

until you've seen yourself

cause that reflection just

ain't what it used to be

it sure as hell ain't what i want to see

well i know that you've been searching

and you've looked inside your heart

but under oceans and in coffins

is a better place to start

heartbreak is the burden i bear

and the bottle's

is the blood i smear

oh

just burdens

just guilt

just loss

and just fear

well i know that you've been searching

and you've looked inside your heart

but under oceans and in coffins

is a better place to start
