lyrics

wailin in my head won't quit
screamin in my veins finds a home
you weren't made to grow old
lonesome as that cold damp ground
I swear I watch you go
every night, every night

heavy as the sea

two demons died that day
one was killed before her first breath
just a bloody mistake
the other tired and bowed its head
got taken by the waves
down, all the way down

no there ain't nothin here for you
it's true they were never gonna do you right
they take and take and take
you are too kind
and though we would have stood by your side,
you know that you were right, you know that you were right
you're always right

heavy as the sea
