soak (joanne pollock remix)

born with a scar far above my head

i count the stars crowding my vision

and i feel nothing instead

i feel nothing instead

soak in decay

spoil into loam

give what i take but it never feels enough

so

i give nothing instead

i give nothing instead

take me to the water

i am not free but i am sorry

i am stone

you should know i would never let you down

you should know i would never let you drown

loan by the skin

a vessel with two hands

touch what i can before i hand it in

so

i touch nothing instead

i touch nothing instead

born into debt

a line of no request

pay what i can but the rest

i have no chance

so

i pay nothing instead

i pay nothing instead

take me to the water

i am not free but i am sorry

i am stone

you should know i would never let you down

you should know i would never let you drown

take me to the water

let me soak in slaughter

i will sink into the bed like a stone

take me to the water

let me soak in slaughter

i will sink into the bed like a stone

take me to the water

i am not free but i am sorry

i am stone

you should know i would never let you down

you should know i would never let you down

you should know i would never let you down

you should know i would never let you drown
