The Gone Lyrics

Down, down down

Down beneath where you thought the bottom ends

Down where there ain't even one spec of light

Where the weight of the water will give you the bends

They say what if the dark is the cave where we're born?

What if the dark is the way we transform?

Oh but what if the dark don't mean nothin'

'Cept it ain't the dawn

Why don't the gone stay gone?

Why don't the gone stay gone?

Stay gone

Stay gone

I bind your book with twine

Then go to the river like the witches said

I make a sign that means don't you come back

Then I throw it down off of the ledge

What if I'm cursed? What if I'm blessed?

What if there's nobody else who comes next?

Oh what if this all don't mean nothin'

'Cept there's nothing left

Why don't the gone stay gone?

Why don't the gone stay gone?

Stay gone

Stay gone

If you ain't gonna fade

Guide my way, guide my way

Oh my ghost of the waves

Am I drowned or am I saved?

Are you my faith?

Why don't the gone stay gone?

Why don't the gone stay gone?

Stay gone

Stay gone
