Paddle and Row

These lines I draw they come down a little too fast
They do not last
Even so
This cross I bear is worn through and it won’t wear
It’s so threadbare, but I won’t let go
And the next time you draw blood it won’t just flow
Even so
We paddle and row
In times like these you strip down to the waist
Take your place
Paddle and row, paddle and row
These hands of mine could roam all over your skin
If you take them in, if you let me in
You tow that line and burn down every bridge
So I stand ablaze, I won’t give in
And the next time you draw blood it won’t just flow
Even so
We paddle and row
In times like these you strip down to the waist
Take your place
Paddle and row, paddle and row
This rift in time and sign is measure of wear
A cold sets in, but we don’t let go
These parts unseen collide in soundless waves
We take it in
Even so
And the next time you draw blood it won’t just flow
Even so
We paddle and row
In times like these you strip down to the waist
Take your place
Paddle and row, paddle and row (x3)
