Underwater:
Why do you insist that I am fine
When the devil's made a house in my skull?
How the shelll holds, I don't know
But why do you insist that I am fine?
Standing in the dark staring in some yellow kitchen
Seeing faces like tallow
Inside their pumpkin belly walls
Black windows don't show the dead man in the street
I will hold you down underwater
If you knew what I was thinking right now
You would probably spit in my face
At least
But I will keep my mouth shut
Yes I will keep my mouth shut
