Lyrics
Your voice sounded like smoke as it spilled over my cheek
Your voice seemed elusive, intangible, like smoke, as it moved across my cheek.
And the words that you spoke stirred the breath out of me
The words you uttered had a profound impact on me, taking away my breath.
The fringe of life lived through gritted teeth
We barely exist in life, enduring hardships and difficulties with great determination.
The mud on our hands and the blood on our feet
We are marked by the toil and struggle we've experienced.
And for a moment I felt a spark of relief
Despite the challenges, there was a brief moment of relief or hope.
So I sank it unceremoniously
However, I intentionally suppressed or destroyed that hope.
Let me go down
Allow me to descend,
That I be washed clean
So that I may be cleansed or purified.
The innocence drowned with the last of my grief
The purity or innocence is lost along with the final remnants of my sorrow.
The heave of your chest and the weight of your breath
The heaviness of your emotions and the burden of your existence,
I will carry these things to the place of my rest
I will carry these burdens with me to my final resting place.
Where the mud on our hands and the blood on our feet
Where our struggles and marks of hardship
Fall away in the unceremonious sea
Will be washed away in the unceremonious sea.
Let me go down
Let me sink,
That I be washed clean
So that I may be purified or cleansed.
The innocence drowned with last of my grief
The innocence is lost along with the final traces of my sorrow.
Above a whisper I spoke with this small part of me
In a barely audible voice, I communicated with this small part of me,
And with the heaviest of hearts I lay it at your feet
With the utmost sadness, I leave it at your feet.
Where the mud on my hands and the blood on my cheek
Where the marks of my struggles and the evidence of my pain
Be all that's left of what we buried at sea
Will be all that remains of what we left behind in the sea.
Come fall away in the unceremonious sea
Come, disappear or dissolve in the unceremonious sea.
