Baroness - Chlorine & Wine lyrics

When I called on my nursemaid "Come sit by my side" But she cuts through my ribcage And pushes the pills deep in my eyes The taste was much sweeter Than chlorine and wine And my doctor's unable To cut through cable that leads to my mind In spite of the winter There's ways to keep warm Whatever you give me Please know that I'll ask you for more The day I stopped swimming And came out of the tide I'd never felt so uncomfortably numb Here by your side Black rose on the bed Turn me to fire Black rose in the vein Shine in your eye Please Don't lay me down Under the rocks where I found My place in the ground A home for the fathers and sons Black rose on the bed Turn me to fire Black rose in the vein Shine in your eye Please Don't lay me down
