Habitual

(album: Hammered And Enamored - 1996)

The way down is so clearly outlined
By the marks made on the way up
The way that we break down, break down
Taken down just to bring it back up

Try to drop this hate
All inviolate
Can you bear this cross
Alone? All at what cost

Given and face-down
Broken and comatose
Given and face-down
Broken and comatose

The ashes that float to the surface
Burned pages, and all that I dare not hope
Try to drown them forever in my wake
Some kind of undertow keeps them afloat

This will set you free
No dependency
A span you draw yourself
Alone, and no one else

Given and face-down
Broken and comatose
Given and face-down
Broken and comatose

This will set you free
No dependency
A span you draw yourself
Above, and no one else

Given and face-down
Broken and comatose
Given and face-down
Broken and comatose
