"Gorch" lyrics - MICHALE GRAVES

Hello in heaven
Am I coming in clearly?
Can you see me down below?
Excuses I'm choking on
My candles of black are burning,
And drowning waters taking my best friend away
Yeah
My best friend away
Yeah

I really can't understand now what I'm crying for
I wish you'd just stand up, get up now, and open up your sewn-shut eyes
I'm standing here, yeah

Every time I close my eyes, I see
Your eyes go under the waves into the fatal sea***
It's killing me, it's killing me
I'll cut that rope from my throat
(From my throat)

So [?] as I let you go
I never walked away
I wish you'd just stand up, get up now
And open up your sewn-shut eyes
I'm standing here (yeah)

Every time I close my eyes I see
Your eyes go under the waves into the fatal sea
It's killing me, it's killing me
I'll cut that rope from my throat (yeah)
I'll cut that rope from my throat
Maybe he cried for me
So maybe he cried for me
Maybe he cried for me
The drowning waters taking my best friend away
