Dry The River - Vessel Lyrics
I knelt at the sink,Like a priest or a princeMaybe I'm to be a kingAnd they're waiting for me at WestminsterAnd the walls are paper thinI hear the neighbor's arguingCould you lower your voice?I would sail my unborn daughter (maybe)We didn't stage a passion playDidn't change our given namesOr waltz to our bedOr need to make a senseBut I see your skin, paler nowThan the host in your mouthWhere the truth never seems to beNow the burning branch never speaks to meIt whispers likeI don't wanna be your vessel any moreI don't wanna be your vessel any moreThese are my words, this is my mouthI don't wanna be your vessel nowAnd I may not see the futureBut I see its lonely architectAt the door of my houseI don't wanna be your vessel any moreI don't wanna be a vessel of your doubtTruly I never dreamtOf all the dumb accoutrementI would want for myselfFor the shelfI laid it all at your feetOn your neck and your cheekBut the burning branch wouldn't speak to meI don't wanna be your vessel any moreI don't wanna be your vessel any moreThese are my rules, this is my houseI don't wanna be your vessel nowAnd I may not see the futureBut I see its lonely architectAt the foot of my bedI don't wanna be your vessel any moreDidn't wanna be your vessel anyway
