Blues from Down Here |
From the depths I called you, Ma |
For your breath and breast so warm and fabled |
Your hands reached inside |
Grabbed my heart, enlarged, disabled |
Hailed for your mercy |
An ear that cares |
How the blues sound from up there? |
With my wet hair, I wipe the blood off of your feet |
Carry me through these shark infested waters |
Well you spared me from slaughter for sure |
But these sharks are equally in need of a martyr |
Oh kindness shared |
Undeserved purest gift, this life you’ve spared |
How the blues sound from up there? |
Teeth gnashing, masticating this dumb tongue |
Quiet now, quiet now, hear that supplication |
Echo into the void |
Been received by no one |
Oh, my sweet dear |
Cold, alone, poisoning ourselves |
Engulfed in our own tears |
Signed, blues from down here |
Signed, blues from down here |
Signed, blues from down here |
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away our- |
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away our- |
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away our- |
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away our- |
Time for your favorite story |
Of how to achieve golden glory |
Wash yourself all squeaky clean |
All in white, all hallow’s eve |
Lessen your desire |
Hold your breath so patiently |
Never inquire how to be free |
Just stay on your knees |
You might doubt it |
Think there’s nothing left for |
To do but stomp my feet |
And shout about it |
From the depths I called you |
Now I’m waiting for an answer patiently |
Stuck here at the bottom of this well |
It’s not the last you’ve heard from me |
