Sleeping with Snails Lyrics by Jetty Bones

2024

[Intro]
I'm always
Always wishing you well
Your lucky Penny sleeps with the snails
At the bottom of the espalier
Where we fell and I stayed
A copper coin turning blue in the water
And trying harder not to drown in it, again
Can't seem to bury you
Like the rest of them
Can't seem to bury you
Can't seem to bury it

[Verse 1]
Can't resurrect with the same form
It's not proper decorum
And I know that it's boring
How I drone on and on again and again
I was always too much
And I kept bringing it up
Until I wasn't

[Refrain]
I went from saying too much to nothing at all
I went from saying too much to nothing at all

It's lonely
It's lonely as hell
Being stuck on a story you don't want to retell
All the poems and plots I need to expel
All is not swell

I can't come back with the same grace
Banned and barred from your birthplace
First in line for the wrong race
Where there's no way to win
And each attempts idles for days in the dust
I just can't stop being stuck
And you don't want this

I think I'm saying too much about nothing at all
I think I'm saying too much about nothing at all
From the absolute best to breaking down to this
Can you tell me how we went from
We went from building a bridge
To building this wall

But don't you miss me, honey
No, you've got a pretty young thing on your arm
And all I got was anxious
And now I'm counting backwards

[Breakdown]
Now I'm counting backwards
Three
Two
One

Our own ways, divergent for now
Your lucky Penny but the lights are all out
At the bottom of the wishing well
Who's in the past now

[Outro]
We went from saying so much to nothing at all
We went from saying so much to nothing at all
From the top of the cliff we stumbled down to this
And I don't get it
So can you make it make sense
How we went from being so much
To nothing at all
