The Casket Lottery
in the branches
Select language to translate this lyric
stuck on the surface since that night
I put the thorn there in my side.
black snake's in the branches eating eggs.
eating all the baby birds.
I hear the ocean.
I think I see the light.
There was fire in the branches.
A face hidden in shadows with a voice so inviting.
It promised my hearts desires.
Never sensing the evil behind those eyes.
Door closed sealing my fate- flame of potential died that day.
I hear the ocean.
I feel the waves inside.
I can taste the salt lying in my bed at night.
Where do we go from here?
I can not escape,
Where do we go from here?
Show me the way up. Show me the way.
