Blues From Down Here Lyrics

Blues From Down Here lyrics

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 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.



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
