about

"That Sinking Feeling" recorded live at Paper Robot Studios.

lyrics

Why do you haunt me?
It's not like I am afraid.
I like hearing your voice while I sleep,
But when I wake and you're a million miles away,
I refuse to listen to what you have to say.
It's hard to believe that your head is screwed on straight,
when I can hear the buzzing behind your eyes,
and the wires in your sleeves are as clear as you see me,
but since you don't, I'll reconsider my only means.

So now I'm gonna haunt you,
like a devil in your bed,
creeping through your sheets and through your mind.
and I hope you don't mind if I stay here for awhile,
ya see, I've been working hard and I'm a little tired.
So sing me to sleep and tell me all your stories
about why you're so much better without me.

I am the last breath stuck inside your throat.
I am that sinking feeling.
I tie the knots that tangle up your thoughts
Just a bubble in your veins, just a picture in a box

Well, I didn't want to tell you
but the screws in the floor are getting loose.
This boat is sinking faster by the hour.
If my part is what you choose,
then I'll play the concrete in your boots,
It takes more than a little salt to wear me down.
So as the water fills your lungs
I won't need to tell you it's just begun.
You'll be gasping out my name before your anchor
hits the soil.

I am the last breath stuck inside your throat.
I am that sinking feeling.
I tie the knots that tangle up your thoughts
Just a bubble in your veins, just a picture in a box
