Chlorine & Wine

When I called on my nursemaid
Come sit by my side
But she cuts through my rib cage
Pushes the pills deep in my eyes(eyes, eyes, eyes)

The taste was much sweeter
Than chlorine and wine
And my doctor's unable
Cut through the cable that leads to my mind(mind, mind, mind)

In spite of the winter
There's ways to keep warm
Whatever you give me
Please know that I'll ask you for more(more, more, more)

The day I stopped swiming
Came out of the tide
I'd never felt so uncomfortably dumb
Here by your side(side, side, side)

Black rose on the bed
Turning to fire
Black rose in the vein
Shine in your eye

Please
Don't lay me down
Under the rock where I found
My place in the ground
Hope for the fathers and sons

Black rose on the bed
Turning to fire
Black rose in the vein
Shine in your eye

Please
Don't lay me down
