lyrics

i was born here
out in the marsh
woke up coughing and drowning
it was real harsh

but it taught me what i know
and it made me who i am
and now that i'm grown, i know that i'll be safe
several miles from land

so i wait for you in the deep
i spend every day asleep
trying to unwind
finding my mind

i see the villagers blinking lights
asking if i'm alright
i know i'm right
tonight

i am ugly
i have sinned
i am worthless
i don't know where to begin

there's comfort down here
it is warm
and you know how i love you
but you're standing in the middle of a goddamned storm

so i wait for you where it's safe
where it's too dark to see my face
and not a mirror in sight
and not a single ray of light

i hear the villagers calling my name
they all say i shouldn't be ashamed
you know they're probably lying
so would you please stop crying
