Leith Hynds - The Devil & The Deep lyrics

Impale me with the horns you found in the cruel sea Carve a circle around my feet So you can lay me on the floor and let my bones fall somewhere between the rock and the stone You don't have to see the way we're caught between the devil and the deep You can feel the weight pressed against your skin, sure of uncertainty We opened wounds, like rivers the size of oceans A vice we never devoted to You feel like falling while on the ground It makes me doubt myself, to watch me drown You don't have to see the way we're caught between the devil and the deep You can feel the weight pressed against your skin, sure of uncertainty You don't have to see the way we're caught between the devil and the deep You can feel the weight pressed against your skin, sure of uncertainty Have you ever watched a candle fight against your breath caught in the jaws between life and d**h We were made for uncertainty We were made for uncertainty You don't have to see the way we're caught between the devil and the deep You can feel the weight pressed against your skin, sure of uncertainty You don't have to see the way we're caught between the devil and the deep You can feel the weight pressed against your skin, sure of uncertainty I've seen the way you look at me, with eyes as empty as the deep I'll watch you from the cliffs, as they cut through the fog that brushed against your lips The winds whispering in tongues, speaking words that steal the breath from your lungs A language caught between the devil and the deep, based on a culture crafted in uncertainty You'll say goodbye and I'll speak of love, we'll contradict the only thoughts we ever spoke of
