Deadbolt - Thrice

When deadbolts awake you from déjà vu dreams

At four in the morning you know where I’ll be

Out running red lights asleep at the wheel

The sirens feed my nightmares

I just close my eyes and I’m already here

It’s already too late

I know it’s nothing but lies

But they sound so sincere

I find them too hard to hate

And she calls from the doorway:

«Stolen water is sweet

So let’s drink it in the darkness

If you know what I mean»

And she calls from the doorway

«Stolen water is sweet

So let’s drink it in the darkness

If you know what I mean»

And I’m almost sure

That I’ve been here before

That this is not the first time

I’ve stood in front of this door

With an overwhelming feeling that I shouldn’t go in

But it seems this is a battle that I never could win

And you

My true love

You call from the hilltop

You call through the streets

«Darling don’t you know

The water is poison»

And I say

«Come on and give me my poison»

What have I done?

Is it too late to save

Me from this place, from the depths of the grave?

(WHAT HAVE I DONE?)

We all are those who thought we were brave

(WHAT HAVE I DONE?)

What have I done?
