GRAVES AT SEA LYRICS

1. Betting On Black

[performed by Graves at Sea]

remove from me your love
and fill your life with needless things.
forget about my fear
and turn the clocks backward.
my days are growing long... too long.

i know the sweetest bliss
is brought by the needles kiss.
sit down and enjoy the thrill,
the way we play every chambers filled.
roll the dice one by one.
self medication has begun.
thinking i kn ow what its all about,
as i rot from the inside out.

pay to play.
you lose every time.
you're born into a world of shit
and then you die.

voices like thunder come,
life is a symptom.
giving up, letting go
is the only way i know.
crashing on broken wings,
what pleasure failure brings.
as my lips pass my final breath,
i think of you and welcome death.

and for these things i've left undone.
for the moon and for the sun.
light a fire on sea and sky
and salt the earth where my body may lie.

2. Confession

[performed by Graves at Sea]

bless me father for i have sinned.
first and foremost for giving in.
what i have come to understand
misfortune came by my own hand.

do as i say, not as i've done.
what i've become must be undone.
all the loss that i've endured.
faither is a sickness and i am cured.

so many promises fallen through.
my hatred grew every day for you.
a thousand drugs for a thousand highs
about which i told a thousand lies.
the cursed thoughts within my head.
the cursed things that i have said.
of all the ways to behave like scum
all the temptations to which i've succumb.

forgive me mother for i have sinned.
i can't decide where to begin.
the boy you riased is now a ghost.
you've been the one i've hurt the most.
the sleepless nights full of concern.
knowing now trust is something earned.
disappointing in every way.
a new excuse every single day.
despite the chances that i have had.
i'm a worthless son and a worthless dad.
a careless lover to all i've fucked.
and to all my bastards i wish the best of luck.

for all i've borrowed and all i've stole
please have mercy upon my soul.
i know this apology isn't much.
i know i curse everything i touch.

treating life just like a gam.
every scar on my arm, another badge of shame.
how the years seem to fly by
walking this crooked line til the day i die...
