lyrics
EVERYTHING'S SINKING
I dreamed of rats, slick with rain.
Drowning on the banks of marble.
Crawling for air. Gasping and rolling.
Woke up feeling quite unstable.
Lime work cracks. Basements flood.
Shin-deep in water.
Stone and salt. Wine and smoke.
Wet clothes stuck to my body.
Oh, Everything’s sinking.
Walls wet with blood. Buckets of mud.
Pound an old pipe with a hammer.
A patch and a kiss. Repair what’s been fixed.
The city waits upon a funeral.
No sign of light. Italian night.
Still the bridges simmer.
From the room into the drink.
Bells ring like death around me.
It’s alright. Another night. (Everything’s Sinking)
Wooden room. Like a tomb. (Everything’s Sinking)
