Thrice - Words In The Water (Live) Lyrics
Standing knee-deep in cold water, swiftly movingSomehow I knew I lost somethingWaiting waist-deep I saw a book there, in the riverWaiting for me to find it thereI tried to read it, neck deep, treading waterThe tide pulled me out to seaThen with water in my eyesThe words began to rise from their placeThey were beautiful and dreadI reached for them and fed on each phraseThey were honey on my lipsThen a bitter twist in my sideI knew they'd lay me in my grave"Is there no one who could save me? " I criedSinking down deep through cold water and heavy silenceShadows stirring in the gloomWhat things lay sleeping down deep in the darkness?Woke then to find me in my tombThen with water in my eyesThe words began to rise from their placeThey were beautiful and dreadI reached for them and fed on each phraseThey were honey on my lipsThen a bitter twist in my sideI knew they'd lay me in my grave"Is there no one who could save me? " I criedAnd when I lost all hope to lookSomeone took that heavy book from my handsAll it's weight they set asideAfter they had satisfied it's demandsI felt white and black reverseAnd the lifting of a curse from my heartThen like one receiving sightI beheld a brilliant light in the dark
