dark trap, about the sea

Intro

Verse 1
You said just bring the bag and meet me at the dock
And now the heavy swell is hitting every rock
I lean across the rail and see it running deep
These are the kind of secrets people never keep
You throw away the SIM and smash your burner phone
The freezing winter spray cuts through me to the bone
You pull the collar tight around your heavy coat
I hear the rattle building in your dusty throat
You pushed it way too far and stepped across the line
You think that you can make your dirty trouble mine
The water wants the iron sitting in your hand
No boat is coming out to scrape us off the sand

Hook
Step back and do not follow to the shore
Do not ask me for a single thing more
Hold on tight and catch your ragged breath
This black water only drags you down to death

Verse 2
The rotting wooden pillars shake as we look down
One slip into the black and both of us will drown
The empty harbor gravel stretches in the dark
Nobody seen the car we hid beside the park
The engine of the Atlantic is rumbling low
I count to three and then I tell you just to go
They know the road we took and follow on the track
Once you give in to this you never make it back
The bitter smell of petrol drifting off the sea
You brought this whole damn mess and set it onto me
The greedy belly opening beneath the tide
There is no place along this coast where we can hide

Hook
Step back and do not follow to the shore
Do not ask me for a single thing more
Hold on tight and catch your ragged breath
This black water only drags you down to death

Bridge
The black foam does not care about the rules we break
It is not a sleepy river and it is not a lake
Turn around and run until you leave the shore
Do not ever come and rattle on my door

Hook
Step back and do not follow to the shore
Do not ask me for a single thing more
Hold on tight and catch your ragged breath
This black water only drags you down to death

Outro
Give all the heavy baggage to the sea
Walk far away and do not look back at me
