Sunk Lyrics

Sunk, like a stone

To the bottom of a heart

That I've grown to barely know

Drowning in the rhythmic undertow

Sunk, like a stone

To the bottom of a bottle

A handwritten note, thrown to the ocean

To drift as words unspoken, swallowed whole

Maybe my tongue will untie the doubt

From the bite and the burden, until I bleed out

Maybe I'm meant to lose myself

And the haunt that lives in my head

Will finally paint the ground

Without a sound

Drunk and all alone

Stumbling back to what's left of a home

Bedroom door shuttered up and closed

I don't live there anymore

Losing every shred of hope

That I'll get better, and we'll grow old

You're better off on your own

I'm better off without a body for these bones

Skin so cold, I'll let it all go

And sink like a stone

Cement my cemetery home

Disappointment sticks to me like glue

A storming shade of anchorage blue

Disappointment seeps right through

The sad tapestry of anchorage gloom

Sunk, like a stone

To the bottom of the marrow in my bones

A hollow harbinger of everything I hold close

Maybe my tongue will untie the doubt

From the bite and the burden, until I bleed out

Maybe I'm meant to lose myself

And the haunt that lives in my head

Will finally paint the ground

Without a sound
