Bittersweet Lyrics by Trenches

The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole

2008

Look at my disaster
Look at me I’m apprehensive with every breath I take
Thinking this comes easy
There’s no answer to a reason that never had a rhyme
As I walk across the
Across the broken bones of those I have slain
I can see the ending
I can see the end in sight but the cycle starts again

So why won’t you lay with me
My bittersweet sanctioned melody

My movements held captive
It’s captivating how we shutter in the face of it
My intentions struggle looking forward to the faucet
To wash away the blood
Oh no, oh god, I cannot believe I’ve let it slip away from this again

So why won’t you lay with me
My bittersweet sanctioned melody

Come alive, breathe
And liberate the hearts of our wicked nation
And childish minds
Slow down the beating process of our endeavors
Just strengthen our demeanor
Slow down the beating process of our endeavors
And come within the light
