When you walked in, I just stood still I said, I'm sorry, love, I have no will If I try to move, I'll break and spill What's left of me, my weight will kill If I die inside this bitter shell It will be upon a frozen lake My knees will break, my breath will swell The snow around my blood will paint Lord, I know my timing's off And all the earth is ragged to the bone, oh, oh Tired is the burning sea That calls me to the bottom like a stone, oh oh And I'm sinking alone Now inside this blinded bend I'll pour the ink down through my pen In sentences that will defend My misery until the end Lord, I know my timing's off And all the earth is ragged to the bone, oh, oh Tired is the burning sea That calls me to the bottom like a stone, oh oh And I'm sinking alone I'm sinking alone I'm sinking alone
