How high
Soldiers pull boys in the rain
Ground to their toes
Ground to the dirt

Oh, my
They spilled down the steps filed in rows
Like hair likes to pour
Like skin loves to warm

But teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around
Because it's safe at the bottom

Wind down
To the beds of the leaves bedding of sand
Where fire don't burn (but the tops of trees)

Out, out
Of the head streams a maze
Of colors and shapes
That dance from these walls

But trust don't pay like these guns don't f*ck around
Because it's safe at the bottom
I know what I know, and all I ever need is you

Down, down
In the sand lives alone in shackles and bone
Meat blood from grown gravel and stone

But teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around
Because it's safe at the bottom

Calm, but
Never finds rest in these bones for what we don't know
For all that we know it's all that we've known

But trust don't pay like these guns don't f*ck around
Because it's safe at the bottom

I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you
(I know what I know, and all I need is you)
I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you
(I know what I know, and all I need is you)
I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you
(I know what I know, and all I need is you)
I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you
And all I ever need is you

But teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around
Because it's safe at the bottom

I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you
(I know what I know, and all I need is you)
I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you
(I know what I know, and all I need is you)
I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you
(I know what I know, and all I need is you)
I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you
(I know what I know, and all I need is you)
