Lyrics Dark Water - Modern Life Is War

Dark Water

Balance is bittersweet when all you know is madness
Count my blessings.
Poke out my eyes
Privilege magnified & shoved in my face
When I walk through the tunnels where
The invalids lay
I’m wading in dark water when I should be in bed
With a head full of magic & a heart full of dread
My labors of toil.
My labors of love
Streetlight pale.
Goddamn the sun
We’re all dangerously close to the bottom
Anguish & Joy could be slammed shut
In the wink of an eye.
In the inky night
I’m a nightcrawler & I don’t know why
Balance is bittersweet when all you know is madness
Count my blessings — Claw out my eyes
There’s no rain to wash the piss stench away
When I walk through the tunnels where the invalids lay
I’m wading in dark water when I should be in bed
With a head full of magic & a heart full of dread
My labors of toil.
My labors of lust
Streetlight pale.
Goddamn the sun
We’re all dangerously close to the bottom
Anguish & Joy could be slammed shut
In the wink of an eye.
In the inky night
I’m a nightcrawler & I don’t know why
