lyrics
It's very old water, it's an even older bridge
It wasn't ever mine and it surely wasn't his
Construction has been stalling, they might just tear it down
By this point we see it clear, it's either sink or drown
Let's go drowning, tonight we're crawling
Let's go crawling, tonight we're sinking
We are wounded, bruised, sore and confused
Forgotten, rotten, all but caught in
The terms of the collapse
Happenstance happened fast
Your last chance
Just a fumbled pass
The flood, over capacity
The rush of boltbreaking enmity
Culmination of suspension in a heap
The cord of distance too heavy to upkeep
The gates break fast
The chase across the water was a heavy sinking line
The way that I outran you clearly swallowed up the prize
One thing that I oft forget is angels ain't so kind
As starving people think, it's when you try to drown you never sink
I'm drowning, tonight I'm crawling
I'm sinking, tonight I'm falling
I am wounded, bruised, sore and confused
Forgotten, rotten, all but caught in
The terms of the collapse
Design flaws, 9 percent a cause
Floods and mud 53 above
Collision, overload,
Picking up on the rest of the untold
Deterioration, cracks in the foundation
The gates break fast
It's very old water, it's an even older bridge
It wasn't ever mine and it surely wasn't his
Construction has been stalling, they might just tear it down
By this point we see it clear, it's either sink or drown
Let's go drowning, tonight we're drowning
Let's go drowning, tonight we're sinking
