Lyrics
By The Tide
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Cement grey beehives rise
From a distance into the night
Fading into light of bleeding
Glow-worms with no life
Liquid life flows down on my skin
Like pouring rains of mid-fall
Liquid life leaves scars on my skin
Like burning drops of fools' gold
Hold back your breath
Hold back again
And dive into this void
Drown
Slowly drown
Adrift in open waters with no bearings
Steel-grey termite mounds rise
From a distance into the night
Blending into skies
With bleeding colors void of life
Liquid life flows down on my skin
Like pouring rains of mid-fall
Liquid life leaves scars on my skin
Like burning drops of fools' gold
Hold back your breath
Hold back again
And dive into this void
Drown
Slowly drown
Adrift in open waters with no bearings
Drown
Slowly drown
Like being carried by the tide
