Beneath the Barrel

It was a combination of ourselves

That stepped into the fire

A feeling far from great but climbing higher

It would be easier to know the truth

If everybody lied like you

Look beneath the barrel there’s your proof

Silence all around

Listening for the sounds

You wouldn’t want to hear right now

Show me where it hurts

Surrounded by the words

You wouldn’t want to hear right now

I guess change is just another word

For things that cannot be

Yet behind the eyes there’s something close to hunger

And beneath the barrel’s where we’ll stay

Till someone comes and finds us here

But who can say if that will take much longer?

Silence all around

Listening for the sounds

You wouldn’t want to hear right now

Show me where it hurts

Surrounded by the words

You wouldn’t want to hear right now

Silence all around

Listening for the sounds

You wouldn’t want to hear right now

Show me where it hurts

Surrounded by the words

You wouldn’t want to hear right now

The days of the damp, the din and the dark

Monstering back, tore me apart

I sat on the ground at the edge of the park

They left for a moment but hadn’t gone too far

Run like blood

To the beginning

Back to hate

Back to sinning

Back to poison

Back to nothing

Back to shame

And never forgiving

Silence all around

Listening for the sounds

You wouldn’t want to hear right now

Show me where it hurts

Surrounded by the words

You wouldn’t want to hear right now

Run like blood

To the beginning

Back to hate

Back to sinning

Back to poison

Back to nothing

Back to shame

And never forgiving

And you took my soul like it meant something

And you took away my choice to sin

And you notified my next of kin

And you took my fucking everything
