Take me down Where the baptized drown So they say!
(Surface dweller, shallow swimmer)
Let's lick my wounds
So they say I killed a man So they say I took his head So they say He was a scourge And all the world are his children
The best thing they ever did in this life was let me live
Digging swiftly Out of hell Madness helps me save myself
Crooked spoons on every wall Genocide lines the hall Ten gauge needles and a prayer Smearing sin everywhere
[Chorus:] What Else could you need? You've taken everything What Else could you need? You've taken everything
(Surface dweller, shallow swimmer)
Let's lick my wounds
We feed until we're engorged
Let them sleep
I need some more Nooses made from human hair Bodies falling from thin air
We speak and preach forbidden truth This is it We're through with you I'm choosing to lose my mind
Rape the blade and call it wine
Crooked spoons on every wall Genocide lines the hall Ten gauge needles and a prayer Smearing sin everywhere
[Chorus]
(Surface dweller, shallow swimmer)
Take me where the baptized drown!
I sleep too deep For you to wake me I sleep too deep For you to wake me I sleep too deep For you'll never wake me
My lips are kissed with Tiny stitches
[Chorus]
The venom that slips from your lips The tiny lies shining in your eyes Pain in my veins, shallow Hollow, incarcerated soul I sleep too deep You to wake me up
