lyrics

There’s a calm across the water
Looking up from the abyss
There’s a problem with your daughter
Is there something that you’ve missed
Said Mr. Holy-Roller
Damn glad to meet ya’
Was it something that they sold her
Or was it broken from the start?

She said it
Feels like I’m waiting
for the earth to swallow me
Feet are already slipping under
Feels like I’m fading
While the earth is hollowing
But I ain’t afraid of the thunder
Anymore

She keeps changing with the seasons
Got nothing left to give
She feelin’ like an old rag doll
Lord it’s a hard, hard way to live
There's a reason that you came here
Got nothing to do with love
It’s a treason of proportion
An iron hand in a velvet glove

She said it
Feels like I’m waiting
for the earth to swallow me
Feet are already slipping under
Feels like I’m fading
While the earth is hollowing
But I ain’t afraid of the thunder
Anymore

There’s a vision of a father
But God’s not listening
So she keeps it locked away inside
Oh, what a brave, brave smile
The days are getting colder
Gotta cover up your arms
Best to keep it quiet
Time to come in from the storm

She said it
Feels like I’m waiting
for the earth to swallow me
Feet are already slipping under
Feels like I’m fading
While the earth is hollowing
But I ain’t afraid of the thunder
Anymore
