Featuring Seth Erickson on Trombone lyrics Heavy hearted, homesick, spilling whiskey, Soaked in rum, I lock the door. Sneaking down the overpass, blurring drops on glass, Moving faster towards the shore. I know I should have seen this coming, As empty as the bottle in my hand, Drown, become a better man.
I felt a pulse from a thousand miles away, Just hear the voices pleading.
Falling off the path, stripped down, and Barely conscious, reaching for the door. Stepping out, I feel the groundswell, Hear it crash to rocks along the shore. You said I should have seen this coming, Follow your lead, twelve steps behind, But oh, the river's on my mind.
I felt a pulse from a thousand miles away, Just hear their voices pleading, I sober up just enough for me to say...
On the edge of a ledge, I look below, From afar I can see an ivory coast, When the water breaks, I'll breathe in slow, Mississippi, swim me back home.
(Breathe in, out slowly, let water flow beneath your feet.)
I'm but a stone, sinking to bed below, Let water flow over my head, my home. credits from Innerlakken, released 19 October 2014
