Fear of Joy

A hundred feet below
Baffled coz I still don't know how
I could feel my face on the floor
I could still taste the tonic and the gin
I was trying my best
I was calling you so we'd get out of this mess
And you screamed, you screamed your world was falling to bits
I'll give you a ride, I'll make it worth your while
I will come back soon, I'm very much obliged
I'll crawl back on my knees when you rise

You couldn't make it out, weren't worth a pound
Crawl back with no sound, as before
You weren't free at all, threw up on the shore
Always wanted more, and what for

I could feel your eyes on my back
I longed for a sweet word from your mouth
I was trying my best
I would wait for you to settle more or less
You blamed me, you blamed me coz you knew I was right
But I gave you my word, tried to make you feel alright
You took this weird exit in that dark curve of our lives
I'll just drown myself til the sun do rise

You couldn't make it out, weren't worth a pound
Crawl back with no sound, as before
You weren't free at all, threw up on the shore
Always wanted more, and what for
You brought the fear of joy, screw me up some more
Your kind belongs under the floor
