Lyrics In the Branches - The Casket Lottery

In the Branches

Stuck on the surface since that night
I put the thorn there in my side
Black snake’s in the branches eating eggs
Eating all the baby birds
I hear the ocean
I think I see the light
There was fire in the branches
A face hidden in shadows with a voice so inviting
It promised my hearts desires
Never sensing the evil behind those eyes
Door closed sealing my fate- flame of potential died that day
I hear the ocean
I feel the waves inside
I can taste the salt lying in my bed at night
Where do we go from here?
I can not escape
Where do we go from here?
Show me the way up.
Show me the way
