PLANKS LYRICS

1. Beneath

Desire drains life from an empty shell
Rust inside these veins
Endless desire –
A taste of divinity in your forever
Ice inside blank stares
Words turn to fire
Melt down hills of promises
That have been too cavernous for too long
Unrelentless falsehood feast

2. The Sea Shall Not Have Them (A.K.A. Nautik Express)

Structures and fractures
Carves in bodies of sovereignty
Essential to the ones lost,
a body of doctrine to delegate and suffocate
Floating down streams,
in opposition to this wake.
To make this count,
to make it worthwhile,
to call it life.
In retrospect it could have been so easy
to reclaim this difference in you.
But this is a willing crave to descent into the Maelstrom

3. Debonair

[originally by Afghan Whigs ]
[written by Greg Dulli. Released on album "Gentlemen", 1993]
