Sweat runs down our breaking backs
I will take you on my chin
I won't be your mother tongue
And tell you're safe as houses
And I want you to keep one hand on me
If you will use the other to take ahold of the sea
You will bury me face down
I will take you on my back
I will steal your mouth away
And keep it all to myself
And I will let you take it out on me
If you say that it's all you need to get some sleep
I will hold down underground
God knows you won't pay for this
I won't carry you away
So you can strech your legs and shred your sin
Peace and quiet below
I will thank you that I am even here at all
Peace and quiet below
I am tired enough
