Sinking - Ien Oblique

They show you all the tricks

You should’ve checked their sleeves

But we are apt pupils

And they are eager to teach

Never an empty glass

No matter where in town

Just when you think it will last

It all comes crashing down

They take you further than you wanted to stray

And keep you longer than you wanted to stay

It cost you more than you were willing to pay

You’re sinking in their sins

You couldn’t wash away

They leave you drifting alone

To get yourself on track

Just as you make it home

They start pulling you back

To take you further than you wanted to stray

And keep you longer than you wanted to stay

It cost you more than you were willing to pay

And you’re left sinking

They take you further than you wanted to stray

And keep you longer than you wanted to stay

It cost you more than you were willing to pay

You’re sinking in these sins

You couldn’t wash away

You’re left sinking

Sinking in these sins

You couldn’t wash away
