Lyrics Water to the Dead - Ego Likeness

Water to the Dead

Step politely over me
When I’m given to the ground
Keep hidden the memory
Of where they lay me down
Let the rain come over me
Wash away the years of filth
Swallowing my memory
Wash it down with bitter guilt
Giving water to the dead
Drink what I used to be
Now the cup’s gone sour
Since you tasted me
Giving water to the dead
Drink what I used to be
Now the cup’s gone sour
Since you tasted me
You’ve misplaced your tiny gods
Lost them to the ground
Let them suffocate with me
In the place they lay me down
Step politely over me
Watch the hollow in the ground
This space left blank for you
Next to where they lay me down
Giving water to the dead
Drink what I used to be
Giving water to the dead
Drink what I used to be
Giving water to the dead, the dead, the dead
