Deep End Of Midnight

There's a cool wind blowing through my heart tonight
No amount of love's gonna make it all right
There's nothing to left to do but to swim in my guilt
The dark water beckons me as sunflowers wilt

There's a big storm brewing in my eyes, it's true
My past rains down and the lightning is blue
If it rains hard enough it may wash me away
Til then I sit and wait for the dawn of the new day

I'm diving in
The pool has no water
I'm swimming in
The sins of my father
I'm drowning in
Something  I can't indentify
Diving off the deep end of midnight
  'til the day I die

There's a stray dog howling at the clouds above
And a child marvels at the flight of a dove
The dog runs away and the child learns to fly
Descending to the heavens as the angels cry

There's an old man sitting in a rocking chair
He sees the whole thing doesn't seem to care
He heads into his house to his hiding place
Cursing in the mirror, doesn't know his own face

There's a tired young man where he used to be
I see my reflection staring back at me...

I'm diving in
The pool has no water
I'm swimming in
The sorrow of my mother
I'm drowning in
Something I can't indentify
Diving off the deep end of midnight
 'til the day I die

We're diving off the deep end of midnight
 'til the day we die

Another tune-less song...

Nice lyrics, yeah.  The mirror stuff in the last verse-and-a-half is
especially cool.
