Phinehas - The Wishing Well

A thunderstorm a distant shore
I’ve witnessed this before
Patience was fleeting
If a thousand coins on the ocean floor
Would bring back love to me
I’ll wait forever

Fill the sea with dreams of a wishing well
Waves bring back my coins to me
Drain the deep that teems with my empty shells
Slaves of sand still call for me

I once had love to give
I once had hoped to live

The rarest stones will break my bones
And golden salt stops my lungs
The perfect limbs and haunting eyes
Begs the seas: Begin to rise

Fill the sea with dreams of a wishing well
Waves bring back my coins to me
Drain the deep that teems with my empty shells
Slaves of sand still call for me

[Man:] And when these delusions come to fruition
Believe you me
I'll strangle my self into nothingness, nothingness
And be reborn from the dream of a blasphemous fool
In my sordid pelt of mold
I’ll earn back years to me
The god of a nightmare will fall
As I take back what is
[Devil:] "Mine!
Worthless swine
Enraptured by my vanity
Your soul sank under the weight
Of gold you offered me"
[Man:] A waste of a life, squandered my heart until it rests
On the ocean floor, barren
Watching the light descend
Deeper and deeper
A deadening feeling starts to grow in my ribs
[Devil:] "From where I lie"
[Man:] From where I hide
The waves overflow
[Devil:] "The snakes overgrown"
[Man:] With my blood
[Devil:] "With your blood"
[Man:] Where are my years?
I’ll bleed dry by myself
I wish I was someone
[Devil:] "You wish you were someone else"
