Mud Up To My Neck

Verse 1

Rustin nails hold the porch boards down

Rain keeps fallin on this hollow ground

My chest is empty where the heart once beat

Stagnant water risin round my feet

Pre-Chorus

And I sink

And I sink slow

Down through the dark

Where the cold roots grow

Chorus

Mud up to my knees

Can't you feel the pull on me

Mud up to my neck

Nothin left to hold or wreck

Verse 2

Poison runs through every vein I own

Driftin through the house that I've outgrown

My hands are tremblin at what they've done

Father's shadow swallows up the sun

Pre-Chorus

And I rot

And I rot here

In the damp

Where the roots stay near

Chorus

Mud up to my knees

Can't you feel the pull on me

Mud up to my neck

Nothin left to hold or wreck

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Cold rain on my face (cold rain)

Cold rain on my tongue (cold rain)

Every drop a debt I never paid

Every breath a lie I left unsung

Chorus

Mud up to my knees

Can't you feel the pull on me

Mud up to my neck

Nothin left to hold or wreck

Outro

Down into the dark earth (down I go)

Down into the cold (down I go)

Let the rot take what's left of me (down I go)

Let the mud claim my soul
