At The Bottom

  • Wait
  • I watched you throw out your bouquet
  • Now i think about you everyday
  • I'm alone now in my bed
  • And there's a lake
  • And at the bottom you'll find all my friends
  • They don't swim cause they're all dead
  • We never are what we intend, or invent
  • 'Cause I make little lies and then I pull them apart
  • Think something dark's living down in my heart
  • And if I wanted to die before I got old
  • I should've started some years ago digging that hole
  • Well, I carry this box to the proper place
  • And when I lower it down I let you fade away
  • I hope that you would do this for me
  • Well, I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
  • If I thought it would help you get away
  • I hope that you would do this for me
  • A deer that a hunter shot in the heart
  • Some dogs that got hit by cars
  • All came to spill their guts
  • And we spoke
  • About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
  • And which psalms we had loved the most
  • And then we all turned to dirt and dust
  • Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold
  • Some die looking for a hand to hold
  • Well, I carry this box to its proper place
  • And when I lower it down I let you fade away
  • I hope that you would do this for me
  • Well, I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
  • If I thought it would help you get away
  • I hope that you would do this for me
  • I stole bricks from the dam almost every day
  • Now I'm drowning in the flood I've made
  • Who'll explain myself to me on the other side
  • I'm gonna want some answers when I die.
  • Well, I carry this box to the proper place
  • And when I lower it down
  • I let you fade away
  • I hope that you would do this for me
  • Well, I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
  • If I thought it would help you get away
  • I hope that you would do this for me
