The Swamp Remembers

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

The river swallows every road I knew

Cold mud crawling up my spine

My brother vanished where the cypress lean

And the water took his name from mine

Something breathing underneath the reeds

Something patient in the black

Pre-Chorus

I wade in deeper

I wade in slow

The current pulls my shadow down below

Chorus

Drown me in the hollow

Let the roots decide

Drown me in the hollow

Nowhere left to hide

The swamp remembers what I did

Verse 2

Moss hangs like a curtain over sins

Old men warned me not to cross

I hear him calling from the murky deep

Calling from the murky deep

My lungs are filling with his loss

Pre-Chorus

I sink in deeper

I sink in slow

The mud has claimed the man I used to know

Chorus

Drown me in the hollow

Let the roots decide

Drown me in the hollow

Nowhere left to hide

The swamp remembers what I did

Bridge

Take the son

Take the father

Take the whole forsaken line

Bury bone

Bury water

Let the cypress keep what's mine

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Drown me in the hollow

Let the roots decide

Drown me in the hollow

Nowhere left to hide

The swamp remembers

The swamp remembers

The swamp remembers what I did
