Deeper Wells

I will shield my eyes, I can’t bear to see your face
‘Cause back here in this town I feel like a man that I’ve replaced
And I would change it if I could, but I would lose myself
So I’ll keep you locked up in the deeper wells

I’m an orphan child finally taken in
On some green and distant shore where someday I might live
But tonight these silver strings will ring and hide this hell
And I’ll keep you locked up in the deeper wells

How I long to thrash the water and look over the edge
But no matter how I love you, there was nothing left unsaid
I don’t know if there is time or if the water is dry

I will un-clench my hands and lead my rose away
‘Cause we can’t raise our own with this poison in my veins
Oh ‘cause every time I trust I get caught up in your spell
So I’ll keep you locked up in the deeper wells

How I long to thrash the water and look over the edge
But no matter how I love you, there was nothing left unsaid
I don’t know if there is time or if the water is dry, dry

I will shield my eyes, can’t bear to see your face
‘Cause back here in this town I feel like a man that I’ve replaced
And I would change it if I could, but I would lose myself
So I’ll keep you locked up in the deeper wells
So I’ll keep you locked up in the deeper wells
