Deep Blue Sea

-Deep Blue Sea-

Wading through the mud and water, up to my knees
Got to stay one step ahead, just out of reach
Tell me, Lord, can I take my soul and wash it clean
Before I’m swept into the depths of the deep blue sea

The devil whispers “You and I are both hellbound
I’m just waiting until all of your hope runs out
Then, dear boy, you’ll be dead before you hit the ground
And it won’t be long before you’re gone and six feet down.”

Chorus:
I’ve been hearing voices in my sleep again
Telling me to give it up and play their game
Defeat is in the air, but should I breathe it in?
Because if I do, life just won’t be the same

The sickness took a hold of me and my heart gave way
I killed the better man in me, he was just dead weight
I drowned him in the swamp and watched him drift away
Because it’s better to be at the devil’s right hand than in his way

There’s a noose that’s waiting for me back in town
Been on the run for days, but should I turn around?
Because I could change and be saved, that’s all I think about
But I just can’t bear to let the hangman down
