lyrics

and it comes from the well
a neverending spell
the kind of hurt that you pull to the ground
please never look down
you'll find too much of yourself in the well
and it comes from the well
one endless swell
you never see it 'til it's too close to tell

my voice is ragged
wrap the sun around my veins
if you could robe me in warm waters
soothe the cold from out my chains
I would give you everything
but the well gives no thanks
I would bless you for all my days
but the well will have no praise

an everlasting echo
inside my mind
a black hole at the bottom
of space and time
I'll fall to the ground
and pull you all down
with a sense of all our losses
never to be found
and it comes from the well
one endless swell
you never see it 'til it's too close to tell

my voice is ragged
wrap the sun around my veins
if you could robe me in warm waters
soothe the cold from out my chains
I would bless you for all my days
but the well will have no praise

I would wait for all my days
but the well still holds my chains
in your hands, your eyes, your face
it follows in all my ways

my voice is ragged
wrap the sun around my veins
if you could robe me in warm waters
soothe the cold from out my chains
I would give you all I have
but the well would throw it wide
I would try to make you laugh
but the well swallows laughing eyes
and so I sink into the blue
of a never-ending sigh
