You, beneath the bed, I know all your tricks I've seen you watching I've seen you drifting away Seen you falling along I've seen you disappear There ain't a cloud in sight Look through the snow and the branches I can count all your teeth Yeah I can count all your teeth Now the bed's on fire and the ceiling's gone And your mom and dad still sing the same old song Don't scare me off now, I'm your only friend Don't scare me off now, I'm your only friend Now you're drifting away Now you're falling along I've seen you disappear I closed my eyes and saw my father's sins They covered me like a second skin I peeled them off and sure I bled it in And now I'm free to sink my own damn ship I cut the bridge down from my family tree To start a fire in the middle Now the house is just ash this time, sink or swim Let the river in If blood is thicker than water Then let the river in We might drift away, but we've got thick skin Let the river in If blood is thicker than water Then let the river in We might drift away, but we'll find our way again
