Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I called on my nursemaid
Come sit by my side
But she cuts through my rib cage
Pushes the pills deep in my eyes
[Verse 2]
The taste was much sweeter
Than chlorine and wine
And my doctor's unable
To cut through the cable that leads to my mind
[Verse 3]
In spite of the winter
There's ways to keep warm
Whatever you give me
Please know that I'm asking for more
[Verse 4]
The day I stopped swimming
Came out of the dark
I'd never felt so uncomfortably numb
Here by your side
[Verse 5]
Black birds on the bed
Turning to fire
Black birds in the day
Shining a ray
[Verse 6]
Please don't let me go
Under the rocks where I found
My place in the crowd
Hope for the fathers and sons
[Verse 7]
Black birds on the bed
Turning to fire
Black birds in the day
Shining a ray
[Verse 8]
Please don't lay me down
