#278: The Wishing Well - Phinehas

The Wishing Well
Phinehas

Genre: Rock/Metalcore

Phinehas is ridiculously good and deserves more attention. This song stood out to me, being a large departure from the style of the rest of the album. All of thegodmachine is incredible, though.

A thunderstorm, a distant shore; I've witnessed this before
Patience was fleeting
If a thousand coins on the ocean floor would bring back love to me
I'll wait forever

Fill the sea with dreams of a wishing well
Waves bring back my coins to me
Drain the deep that teems with my empty shells
Slaves of sand still call for me

I once had love to give
I once had hoped to live
The rarest stones will break my bones and golden salt stops my lungs
The perfect limbs and haunting eyes begs the seas: begin to rise

Fill the sea with dreams of a wishing well
Waves bring back my coins to me
Drain the deep that teems with my empty shells
Slaves of sand still call for me

Man: And when these delusions come to fruition
Believe you me
I will strangle my self into nothingness
And be reborn from the dream of a blasphemous fool

In my sordid pelt of mold
I'll earn back years to me
The god of a nightmare will fall as I take back what is…

Devil: Mine!
Worthless swine enraptured by my vanity
Your soul sank under the weight of gold you offered me

Man: a waste of a life, squandered my heart until it rests upon the ocean floor barren
Watching the light descend deeper and deeper
A deadening feeling starts to grow in my ribs

Man: From where I lie, the waves overflow, with my blood
Devil: From where I hide, the snakes overgrown, with your blood

Man: Where are my years
I'll bleed dry by myself
I wish I was someone
Devil: You wish you were someone else
