lyrics

I was walking alone through the valley of doubt, all my friends had flown away
so I slept in a beaten and abandoned old house and waited frustrated for day
but when day came the sky revealed her bruises and scars and from the soil water began to rise
so you and some stranger loaded me into his car and through the paved rivers we ride

and the windows were wide open and the waves crashed on in
and I started to cry but you kept up your chin
and I held your thin hand so tight that it could break
as I struggled, was juggled, and sank

I was running through a tunnel in an unfamiliar place lined with broken glass, bottles, and mold
and a strange man chased me down with a smile on his face as my heart and my innards grew cold
for in that strange man's smile was a deep embossed cruelty, a look I'm afraid I know well
with his pants undone and his laughter filthy that man chased me right down to hell

and I tripped on my own feet and slammed into the concrete
knew it was my fault as the blood pooled its soft heat
and my last dying thought was that I'm a failure
as I crumble and cry on the floor

it was dark all around me as I felt my mind wake and my body lay flat on the bed
and I thought it was my chance to stop the heartache created by thoughts in my head
so I kicked and screamed or I thought that I did, and tried to wake myself up
but my arms were like granite and lay heavy instead; my small strength just wasn't enough

and my own mind laughed at me so piercing and mean
made me feel like a prisoner, weak and unclean
and I've never felt so scared or defeated before
as I calcify on the shore
