blue gillespie - the swamp lyrics

Loading...

[spoken]
sunk in the turgid muck
i keel and squat in footlong thrusts
toward the only place i feel no shame
or bidden by the buzzing stare
that cuts across the surface
of the stagnant swamp

here three days, no sun nor rain
breaks the mists that clings to my face
no will to speed up or despair to drown
just constant ghosts in seas of brown
my pace is tugged with desperate will
and a scream pukes from my lungs

i wrench apart the vine and root
that keeps me from the comfort sounds
of falling rain and leaves
and the warmth of steely sun

i find, dismayed, the tortured land
of burning bone and seared flesh
echoing my former home
obliteration of stubborn hope forgotten
nothing saved of savaged love
of life depraved
i close my eyes, fall away
fall back into the swamp
to sleep and to dream, forgetting
to float back to the start
where i walk
the turgid muck again
to start my trudge again

[sung]
keep me from peeling to stop me revealing
keep me relieving, only deceiving
keep me from peeling, only revealing
filthy relieving, don’t be deceiving
lie still

[outro]
no hope
in joy
no hope
oh lord
no hope
in joy
no hope
oh
