I guess for now he's well-fed
We ain't seen him in a while
Guess he does most of his work
While the rest of us are safe in our beds
He's summered in the deepest oceans
He's wintered on a sandy beach
They all once tried to keep him grounded
So, he preyed like a God
From the world's highest peak
You can always find quiet
But you can't really ever find peace
If you can't filter the breath between the lies that you speak
Hear the back of the beetle
As he breaks at your feet
Are you as sorry now as the tide
When she came and washed out your streets?
She washed them out clean
There was a ghost there in that red house
He never burned out any lights
He never slammed a door
Or crossed a creaky board among the floor
He just wanted for once to sleep at night
One day he had to up and leave there
He couldn't take the drawn-out fights
He even caught the nasty thoughts never spoken
But so spiritless and mean
How they echoed among their lives
So, if you see those so called demons
Don't bother saying I said: 'Hi!'
I think they both know where to find me
I think I've stared at them both dead in their eyes
I'll probably see them in some time now
Our crooked paths could easily cross
Or wind forever in a lonelier direction
Because there ain't a lot of fight left in damaged souls like us
See, you can always find quiet
But you can't really ever find peace
If you can't filter the breath between the lies that you speak
Hear the back of the beetle
As he breaks at your feet
Are you as sorry now as the tide
When she came and washed out your streets?
Washed them out clean
There's a monster at the bottom I guess for now he's well-fed We ain't seen him in a while Guess he does most of his work While the rest of us are safe in our beds He's summered in the deepest oceans He's wintered on a sandy beach They all once tried to keep him grounded So, he preyed like a God From the world's highest peak You can always find quiet But you can't really ever find peace If you can't filter the breath between the lies that you speak Hear the back of the beetle As he breaks at your feet Are you as sorry now as the tide When she came and washed out your streets? She washed them out clean There was a ghost there in that red house He never burned out any lights He never slammed a door Or crossed a creaky board among the floor He just wanted for once to sleep at night One day he had to up and leave there He couldn't take the drawn-out fights He even caught the nasty thoughts never spoken But so spiritless and mean How they echoed among their lives So, if you see those so called demons Don't bother saying I said: 'Hi!' I think they both know where to find me I think I've stared at them both dead in their eyes I'll probably see them in some time now Our crooked paths could easily cross Or wind forever in a lonelier direction Because there ain't a lot of fight left in damaged souls like us See, you can always find quiet But you can't really ever find peace If you can't filter the breath between the lies that you speak Hear the back of the beetle As he breaks at your feet Are you as sorry now as the tide When she came and washed out your streets?
