lyrics

Oh I am a hopeless man
Barely made of skin and soul
I set the world upon myself
I dig myself a brilliant hole
I live here day by day
until the crows take me away

My bones are brittle, chalky white
Decay lives in my heart
I swim against the current
As I meekly break apart
I live here in the ground
And I will not ever be found.

Hey this is the way it has to be,
I will end up drowning in the sea.
And as I beg for you, my heart will flood until it's through
Hey this is the way it has to be.

Give up my darling,
Do you even love me when I'm drinking?
And maybe we should just clear our heads
Before they know what we are thinking.
You may be pretty but we are dead
And I know that you heard all the things that I said, well honey

Have you ever seen a man so low?
I'm almost halfway in the ground you know
But maybe you think I'm not worth your time but
Your face is fallin' and that's just fine, no
You may be pretty but I can see
That the weight of your love is swallowing me.

Hey this is the way it has to be,
I will end up drowning in the sea.
And as I beg for you, my heart will flood until it's through
Hey this is the way it has to be.
