Like Lead Lyrics - Thea Gilmore

You talk about love like its something you found on your shoe 

Guess your feelings for me are just a mild inconvenience to you 

And I hate you but still play your game 

And you hate me but tie me to you all the same 

Like some ship being battered from pole to pole 

Taking on, taking water on 

In our religion when knives are being drawn, bloods being spilt 

Youre the one with the cross now, baby Im the one with the guilt 

We walk to separate sides of the ring 

Wait for the trouble to come crashing again 

Throwing punches as kisses when the bell has been rung to begin 

Taking on, taking water on 

Taking on, taking water on 

Do you even know what I mean? 

It tires me out and drags me back in 

And if you look down at your feet 

Youll see my heart, just so much blood on the street 

And so many tears and all 

And we search desperately for someone to call our own 

And we hold them up to the light 

See the loose threads, tears on the inside 

Till your head is so battered its sinking like lead in the tide 

Taking on, taking water on 

Taking on, taking water on 

Oh
