dry the river - vessel lyrics
i knelt at the sink,
like a priest or a prince
maybe i’m to be a king
and they’re waiting for me at westminster
and the walls are paper thin
i hear the neighbor’s arguing
could you lower your voice?
i would sail my unborn daughter (maybe)
we didn’t stage a p-ssion play
didn’t change our given names
or waltz to our bed
or need to make a sense
but i see your skin, paler now
than the host in your mouth
where the truth never seems to be
now the burning branch never speaks to me
it whispers like
i don’t wanna be your vessel any more
i don’t wanna be your vessel any more
these are my words, this is my mouth
i don’t wanna be your vessel now
and i may not see the future
but i see its lonely architect
at the door of my house
i don’t wanna be your vessel any more
i don’t wanna be a vessel of your doubt
truly i never dreamt
of all the dumb accoutrement
i would want for myself
for the shelf
i laid it all at your feet
on your neck and your cheek
but the burning branch wouldn’t speak to me
i don’t wanna be your vessel any more
i don’t wanna be your vessel any more
these are my rules, this is my house
i don’t wanna be your vessel now
and i may not see the future
but i see its lonely architect
at the foot of my bed
i don’t wanna be your vessel any more
didn’t wanna be your vessel anyway
