Lyrics for Blues From Down Here as interpreted by .tommy doll

Blues From Down Here Lyrics
From the depths I called you, ma
for your breath and breast so warm and fabled
Your hands reached inside
grabbed my heart, enlarged, disabled

Hailed for your mercy
An ear that cares

How the blues sound from up there?

With my wet hair, I wipe the blood off of your feet
Carry me through these shark infested waters
Well you spared me from slaughter for sure,
but these sharks are equally in need of a martyr

Oh kindess shared
Undeserved purest gift, this life you spared

How the blues sound from up there?

Teeth gnashing, masticating this dumb tongue
Quiet now, quiet now, hear that supplication
echo into the void
been recieved by no one

Oh my sweet dear
Cold alone poisoning ourselves
engulfed in our own tears

Signed, blues from down here.

Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your

Time for your favorite story
of how to achieve golden glory
Wash yourself all squeaky clean
all in white all Hallow's Eve

Lessen your desire
hold your breath so patiently
never inquire how to be free
Just stay on your knees

You might doubt it
think there's nothing left for me
to do but stomp my feet
and shout about it

From the depths I called you.

Now I'm waiting for an answer patiently
Stuck here at the bottom of this well
It's not the last you've heard from me

At a concert last year Kyp introduced this as having been written in the past about the future (which is the present.) I have no fucking clue what that means.

Its def. about religion. I agree w mOOdymEllow I mean think of where the band grew up! but I'm adding this:
"Well you spared me from slaughter for sure,
but these sharks are equally in need of a martyr"
Narrator's mother spared him from the church, her fellow church-goers, most likely by sticking up for her son or lying for him but probably not lying cuz it's about morality. These sharks (church goers) are in need of a savior, as she has been for him.

"Oh kindess shared
Undeserved purest gift, this life you spared"
the narrator doesn't deserve the goodness of his mother for her giving him life "undeserved purest gift"
