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
