Over the Bow |
| Five years from now I can’t say that I’ll be around |
| Cause you are so sweet, but other things call to me |
| They sing «Oh, forget where you come from |
| And lose yourself over the bow |
| And worms that crawl around in your skull |
| Won’t get the best of you now — oh no |
| They won’t get the best of you now» |
| You’ve dreamed so long of a girl who would swallow your tongue |
| Now deep, dark, and true, the silence she waits for you |
| And sings «Oh, forget where you come from |
| And lose yourself over the bow |
| And worms that crawl around in your skull |
| Won’t get the best of you now — oh no |
| They won’t get the best of you now» |
| Hand over hand my friend |
| You’re holding up everything |
| On shoulders like splintered pine |
| Narrow and fine |
| Oh so narrow and fine |
| Water like porcelain |
| To mirror your see-through skin |
| Bones that the waves lick clean |
| It’s nothing you’ve seen |
| No it’s nothing you’ve seen |
| Hand over hand my son |
| You’re holding up everyone |
| Can’t be the thing you’re for |
| There has to be more |
