  • Bring on your hunters
    Let them bring their dogs
    It's me that you wanted
    I've been right here all along

    Right here all along
    You better bring your buckets
    We've got some dreams to drain
    I'll be at the bottom

    I've been right here waiting so long
    Just waiting so long
    Dreams to drain
    Put them in a cage

    Unlock the pain
    And I'll be here waiting
    You fell asleep with the key
    All your walls

    Mean nothing to me
    I know you'll come back
    To set us free
    Run my dear son

    Until we get to the trees
    And keep on going all the way
    We've got to get right down to the sea
    We've got to get to the sea

    My dear son
    We've got to get to the sea
    Don't you touch the water
    Don't you barely breathe

    And if you see yourself
    Looking back at you
    You're gonna have to leave
    You're gona have to leave

    I don't want you to go
    But you've got to leave
    Dreams to drain
    Put them in a cage

    Unlock the pain
    And I'll be here waiting
    You fell asleep with the key
    All your walls

    Mean nothing to me
    I know you'll come back
    You're going to set us free
    I don't want you to go

    But you've got to leave
    You can always come to me
    I'll give you what you need
    Run my dear son
