Lyrics
Swallowing the seeds of sins we sewed into the ground
Reflecting on the consequences of past actions, acknowledging the negative outcomes.
Keeping secrets until everything became a bit too loud
Keeping secrets until they became overwhelming or too noticeable.
I could wash it down
Contemplating the possibility of washing away guilt or remorse.
I could drown it out
Suggesting the option of drowning out negative emotions or thoughts.
By filling up the silence with an organ sound
Filling the emptiness with music, possibly to escape or find solace.
And by writing sentences I used to think were quite profound
Expressing a past belief in profound thoughts, now possibly questioned.
And it feels like the weight is too much to carry
Feeling burdened and overwhelmed by challenges or responsibilities.
I should quit, maybe go get married
Considering the possibility of quitting and pursuing a conventional life.
Only time will tell
Uncertainty about the future, acknowledging that only time will reveal the outcome.
And I wonder if I should've changed my accent
Reflecting on the potential impact of personal changes, like altering one's accent.
Tried to make myself more attractive
Considering changes for enhanced attractiveness or acceptance.
Only time will tell
Emphasizing the uncertainty of the effectiveness of those changes over time.
In the final cut
Referring to the final edit or conclusion of a situation or relationship.
In the final scene

There's a final girl
Introducing the concept of a "final girl," often a survivor in horror stories.
And you know that she should be screaming

Telling all the tales took time that I just do not have
Indicating the time-consuming nature of sharing experiences and stories.
Sifting further through the wreckage, I think you just have to laugh
Finding humor or acceptance in the aftermath of a difficult situation.
Try to take it back
Expressing a desire to retract or undo certain actions or consequences.
As it turns to black
As a situation darkens, contemplating the irreversibility of events.
Don't want to find your daughter in a body bag
Fearing the tragic outcome of someone close being harmed or lost.
So I need to get out now while most of me is still intact
Deciding to exit the situation while personal integrity remains intact.
And it feels like the weight is too much to carry
Reiterating the weight of burdens and contemplating quitting.
I should quit, maybe go get married

Only time will tell
