We Were Giants - The Last Words lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

U fell victim to the slitherin' elder

But grasped tightly to the concept of bein' a father

U sink, u sink, stay strong, stay strong, let me keep you safe

I stand befo' u as a child so unaware

The last words I speak are the last ones you'll hear

I sink, I sink, I'm so weak, I'm so weak, it's so hard to breathe

Intoxication - medication, tell me ur worries, give me ur stories

Abandonment - inadequate, allow urself to see life thru' my eyes

(I can't escape these feelings of hate, I'm afraid I might let go)

(Chorus)

I can't escape these feelings of hate, I'm afraid I might let go

The wind is takin' me away from everythin' (everythin')

(Post-Chorus)

Take me back to a day when a man could admit his mistakes,

and not feel weak

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)

U fell victim to the slitherin' elder

But grasped tightly to the concept of bein' a father

U sink, u sink, stay strong, stay strong, let me keep u safe

I stand before u as a child so unaware

The last words I speak are the last ones you'll hear

I sink, I sink, I'm so weak, I'm so weak, it's so hard to breathe

(Post-Chorus)
