Vessel Lyrics & Tabs by Dry the River
Vessel
guitar chords lyrics
I knelt at the sink,
like a priest or a prince.
Maybe I'm to be a king,
and they're waiting for me at Westminster.
And the walls are paper thin, I hear the neighbor's arguing,
Could you lower your voice?
I would sell my unborn daughter (maybe)
We didn't stage a passion play,
Didn't change our given names,
Or waltz to our bed,
Or need to make sense,
But I see your skin, paler now,
Than the host in your mouth,
Where the truth never seems to be.
Now the burning branch never speaks to me,
Than the host in your mouth,
Where the truth never seems to be.
Now the burning branch never speaks to me,
It whispers like…
I don't wanna be your vessel any more,
I don't wanna be your vessel any more, "
These are my words, this is my mouth,
I don't wanna be your vessel now.
And I may not see the future,
But I see its lonely architect at the door of my house,
I don't wanna be your vessel any more,
I don't wanna be a vessel of your doubt.
Truly I never dreamt
of all the dumb accoutrement,
I would want for myself,
For the shelf.
I laid it all at your feet,
On your neck and your cheek,
But the burning branch wouldn't speak to me!
I don't wanna be your vessel any more,
I don't wanna be your vessel any more,
These are my rules, this is my house,
I don't wanna be your vessel now.
And I may not see the future,
But I see its lonely architect at the foot of my bed,
I don't wanna be your vessel any more,
Didn't wanna be your vessel anyway.
