lyrics

late wednesday night
i started to build my wall
in a house overgrowing with ivy
i sat out by the pool

took my last sips of liquor
as i dived into the water
never opened up my eyes
as i sank beneath the sea

sun and moon above
no one came to see me
dead and forgotten
the cat got out again

neighbors had forgotten to
visit me while away
came over and saw me sitting
deep beneath the waves

left the radio on
fell asleep to a sad folk song
gunshots in the distance
so i never picked up the phone

i wrote this on a cloud
where the people knew my name
there's a fire burning deep below me
and there's sugar in my veins

the devil came from the basement
where he once was caught on film
mother over his shoulder
and a child in the room
