The Knowing Dirge - Floater

In the shadow of what’s real

You dig a hole down in the sand

Where you know you left it all

The things that make you understand

And guide your hand

Then you turn with wattering eye

To the sky in your surprise

And the sand is your blood and the hole is so big

And you shake and you pray and you beg

You know why

With your watering eye

You’ve got a hole inside

Such a wretched life

Don’t look so surprised

You know why

You did this to yourself again

Gunning for a bluer sky

Swallowed the dose

Cut your own rope

Just to know it all

Do you know it all?

Took down the dose

Cut your rope

Wanted to show yourself everything

You ran through the wires

Tasted the fires

You can’t feel anything at all

Shocked by the voice again
