Sliver me Down

from Lie in the Leaves by Nature & Madness

/

lyrics

the wind in the sail
is breaking the fall
of yesterday's ailments
and i can no longer steer
this hollow frame

now that i'm strong
it's hard to see
the waves in front of me
and this crashing tide
is held by the rain

the captains overboard
and my hand is at the wheel
this vessel churns forward
and some distant star
hides in the clouds

and i hold in my hand
a plan of reaction
to set my feet safe on the sand
but i've married the dark
and my head is too proud

the waves of an ocean
set my feet on this rock
and the cries of a motion
teaching me how to walk
again
and this days getting shorter
lord i am so afraid
but this heart is getting older
and i'm learning how to pray
again

sliver me down until i'm in pieces
sliver me down i can do it myself
sliver me down to still smaller pieces
sliver me down i control my own health
