lyrics

You've punctured all your memories, wrapped em up in heavy, bitter rusted chains.

Sailed your little ship through the moonlight. Throw em out and watch them sink into the

bottom of the lake. Bottom of the lake. Shine in your dismay. Smile beneath the waves.



The till feels good in your hands, as you point it towards the monsters foaming wake.

Lake patrol they've come to stop you. But you'll never let them take you to a better place.

To a better place. Shine in your dismay. Smile beneath the waves.



Righteous you stand in battle pose. Sun glistens off your swords.

Enemies swarm your bow but you. You know what's right you know what's true, ya only did what you had to do.



See the monster crush your flailing boat. Watch the water swirling round your

nervous feet.

Lake patrol they make a futile last attempt, as they catch your last true smile, beneath the

waves. Smile beneath the waves. Shine in your dismay. Smile beneath the waves.
