"Deep Dark Below" lyrics - AMANDA SHIRES

Most of the shingles are gone
There's a couple still hanging on
Like an old man's tooth

The third house in,
With the weeds and the limbs
And all the broken glass
And other people's trash

The windows are all busted out
You can slip your way carefully in.
Even stand inside the tape
And lay in the shape of her
Chalk outline
Monster are men that the devil gets in
And even he gets so bored sometimes
Climbs from his hollow
In the deep dark below
To entertain himself awhile
To entertain himself awhile
He puts on the body and clothes
Of someone you think you know
And step into those hands
Like a horse in quicksand
You find yourself screaming your way to the end.
That's what happened to Alisha.
She was dancin' wild
Tilting from the wine,
Dark hair and diamond shine.
Lonely and bruised
Gettin' over being used,
It's usually the weak ones he finds
It's usually the weak ones he finds.
And he wanted her beauty
That's all he was after
Oh, you've never seen hips
And legs and skin
No arms like hers.
And she was dying for some company.
They found her some days later,
Undone and scattered.
And right beside her
A straight plain
Sledgehammer
I heard he plays a mean fiddle
And his bows made of bones,
And it sounds like your deepest desire.
Lonely and bruised
Gettin' over bein' used,
It's usually the weak ones he finds.
It's usually the weak ones he finds.
