letra de under the waves - black eyes
[verse 1]
how to ease my muscles from a hundred strains?
how to purge my soul of a thousand shames?
how to cleanse my body of ten thousand stains?
how to raise a monument to fifty thousand names?
from the mouth into the microphone, the monitors and mains
through the atoms of the air into the inner ear and brain
the sound followed me home on a green line train
you might look like me but we’re not the same, tell me
[chorus]
how long in the water?
how long under the waves?
how long behind the mirror?
how long in the grave?
[verse 2]
how to ease my muscles from a hundred strains?
how to purge my soul of a thousand shames?
how to cleanse my body of ten thousand stains?
how to raise a monument to fifty thousand names?
you might think that i am wild and you might think that i am tame
you might think that you’re a hunter, you might think that i am game
you might follow me home on a red line train
you might f-ck like me but we’re not the same, tell me
[chorus]
how long? ask the watchman
how long? ask my mother
how long? ask my daughter
how long? ask another
[verse 3]
my name is legion, we are many, we hang around the tombs
your father’s house is full of mansions and the mansions full of rooms
we came into this world through seventy-four thousand wombs
and we’re warped in the weft of a multitude of looms
we’re the black widow hidden in the leaves beneath your feet
we’re the destroying angel that you’re about to eat
we put on dies irae and we listen on repeat
you’re standing in the ashes and you still can’t feel the heat
you might look like me but we’re not the same
you might look like me but we’re not the same
you might look like me but we’re not the same
you might look like me but we’re not the same
[chorus]
how long till you open the gate?
it’s been too long and it’s much too late
how long till we rush the gate?
how long? ask the watchman
how long till you open the gate?
how long? it’s getting late
how long till we rush the gate?
how long? ask the watchman
how long?
how long?
how long?
how long? open the gate
how long?
