Bulrushes from Closer To; by Common Sage

left it all behind i must be dreaming
blocking out the light washed from the scene
reeds so tall you’ll never see me hiding
underneath the salt there’s only sin

I’ll be sinking like a stone before you figure out

never left a mark though something lingers
slowly moving in and out of frame
leave me here to lie without a meaning and tell me when you decide
who gets swept away to parts unknown
and who gets left behind

I’ll be sinking like a stone before you figure out
(I’ll be stitching every piece together, that i let fall apart)
I’ll be sinking like the boys were drawn and laid down in the nile

so pray to god you won’t start slipping
when the lights go down
no one will hear what I’ve been thinking
when i start to drown
so pray to god you won’t start slipping
when the lights go down
just tell me you love me when i start to drown

scared i might be breaking at the seems
don’t think about helping, save me from myself
