At the Bottom

Wait

I watched you throw out your bouquet

Now I think about you every day

And I'm alone now in my bed

And there's a lake

And at the bottom you'll find all my friends

They don't swim cause they're all dead

We never are what we intend or invent

'Cause I made little lies and then I pulled them apart

Think something dark's living down in my heart

And if I wanted to die before I got old

I should've started some years ago digging that hole

Well, I'll carry this box to the proper place

And when I lower it down and let you fade away

I hope that you would do this for me

Well, I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate

If I thought it would help you get away

I hope that you would do this for me

A deer that a hunter shot in the heart

Some dogs that got hit by cars

All came to spill their guts

And we spoke

'Bout the Father, Son and Holy Ghost

And which songs we had loved the most

And then we all turned to dirt and dust

Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold

Some die looking for a hand to hold

Well, I'll carry this box to it's proper place

And when I lower it down and let you fade away

I hope that you would do this for me

Well, I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate

If I thought it would help you get away

I hope that you would do this for me

Well, I stole bricks from the dam almost every day

Now I'm drowning in the flood I made

Explain myself to me on the other side

I'm gonna want some answers when I die

Well, I'll carry this box to the proper place

And when I lower it down and let you fade away

I hope that you would do this for me

Well, I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate

If I thought it would help you get away

I hope that you would do this for me
