Song: Blues from down here

                        
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 of 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 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 recieved by no one

           
 Oh my sweet dear
                     
 Cold alone poisoning ourselves 
               
engulfed in our own tears

                      
 Signed, blues from down here.

                          
     Signed, blues from down here
                          
     Signed, blues from down here
                             
     Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your sin*
                                                  
 Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your sin*

 Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your sin*
                                                  
 Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your sin*
                                                 
 Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your sin*

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 me 
                  
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
