lyrics

Confined and realigned
Up to your neck,
Up to your neck into the brine.
Defied, you realise you're holding hands
With the ones who you despise.

A light glints from the shore,
There's only one,
There's only one who you adore.
You couldn't wait to see them,
You couldn't wait to see them all.

Controlled, the drugs take hold,
Your bloodied hands were just doing what they're told.
Admired and told to stand,
Your heavy heart is the weight of their demands.

Rest behind your weary eyes;
Up to their necks,
Up to their necks in all their lies.
They couldn't wait to see you,
They couldn't wait to see you fall.

Their sighs, their whispered lies,
Your sweaty hands,
Their pathetic alibis.
Tonight you're satisfied;
Up to their necks,
Up to their necks into the fire.

An empty glass,
A shattered heart
Left at the bar,
What is left won't get you far.

And you couldn't wait to see them,
You couldn't wait to see them fall.
