Lyrics The Dockyards - Tub Ring

The Dockyards

The lights were dim, they came from outside
Took me away, set me on fire
There’s no DNA or cells to admire
Trail of crumbs leads to a dead end tonight
Hands cut dead at the wrist
It’s hard to ID when prints don’t exist
Teeth get removed, just a matter of time
Search gets called off, now they’re looking for someone else
Why give yourself to pain if you
Have the chance to walk away?
Now you’re giving me one more reason
One more reason to escape
Why give yourself to pain if you
Have the chance to walk away?
Now you’re giving me, giving me, giving me
Giving me one more reason to escape
Blood is thick and skin is pale as the whites of an eye
You try not to think about what happened that night
But I keep dreaming on without a witness or why
Sleep now, my children, there’s no need to cry
