Lyrics

Tarpit

Hey what's bubbling down under there?
Why's it screaming?, what's unfair?
Please excuse it for getting hard
Let the (shellfish?) swell inside
But how should I now watch it squirm?
It's asking me what's that I learn
Stay inside, pull me out of space
Trip me sprinkling grey
Stay and take my fate
Thought I knew you, stuck out my hand
The bit which I could understand
It's a twisted feeling, staring bored
It's time to burn, I hope I score
Wait for me there, the gas might run
Strike this little, be outdone
Stay inside, pull me out of space
Trip me sprinkling grey
Stay and take my fate
Take my fate
Take my fate
Take my fate
And take my fate
