We're close to the surface, I'm too tired to think
Awoken to find you beginning to sink
I know all these strangers, a weakened defence
Who knows what we're doing?
We wasted our chance
The lambs from the slaughter are heading for home
Head above water and dry as a bone
I feel that I oughta just go on my own
And keep above water 'cause dry is alone
This self-mutilation seems such a waste
I have seen evil, it's not without taste
I make excuses, scrape rust from my veins
It's wrong to be normal
It's you who should change
The lambs from the slaughter are heading for home
Head above water and dry as a bone
I feel that I oughta just go on my own
And keep above water 'cause dry is alone
Surrender my karma and live for the day
I'm not sure I wanna come back anyway
You're off in the distance
We're joined at the hip
I'm keeping my balance but losing my grip
The lambs from the slaughter are heading for home
Head above water and dry as a bone
I feel that I oughta just go on my own
And keep above water 'cause dry is alone
They're calling my number if that still applies
Counting the costs and feigning surprise
Battles are lost if you lead from the front
It used to be harder to get what I want.
