Oceans Of Regret Lyrics
Twisted sense of irony
In the way your constant lack of sympathy
Has turned me so hopeless, so heartless
Gethsemane open for me tonight
I'll pray for the last time
For you and for me
And our ordinary lives, ordinary lies
My pain, redefined
Like an unwelcome guest arrives just to remind me
I'm there for you, if you'd still want me to
For after all, I'm yours to keep
Just come to me
I'm waiting with my wounds wide open
[Chorus:]
Pour your salt into these wounds
And watch me crawl
Tell me to take it like a man
Show me my place, hurt me just because you can.
Though now it hurts like hell
It is better to feel just something else
Than live in that uncertainty
So tell me now, how was he
And tell me was he worth it
An ounce of peace is all I want
A solemn haven for the torn and tired one,
Downcast wayward son
Can't crawl out of my hole
So I'll make it my home
While wise enough to dig no more
Trying to wash off the pain stain
Don't fill my heart with your disdain
Why can't you see,
A leap without faith is what you ask of me
[Chorus]
You pour your salt, into my wounds
And watch me crawl
Tell me to take it like a man.
Show me my place, hurt me just because you can.
Take me in then tell me you hate me
Breathe with me, make love to me until I bleed
How does it feel to know that you can break me?
[Keyboard Solo]
And I guess I'd forgive if I would not look weak
And I knew that you'd give yourself to me
Though the wound is too deep I would give everything
If I could just be the object of your desire
[Guitar Solo]
Silently, you stood there before me
Violently unveiling your sin and your deceit
You said to me:
"Love is only beautiful when it bleeds"
[Chorus]
Pour your salt into these wounds
And watch me crawl
Tell me to take it like a man
Show me my place, hurt me just because you can.
In the way your constant lack of sympathy
Has turned me so hopeless, so heartless
Gethsemane open for me tonight
I'll pray for the last time
For you and for me
And our ordinary lives, ordinary lies
My pain, redefined
Like an unwelcome guest arrives just to remind me
For after all, I'm yours to keep
Just come to me
I'm waiting with my wounds wide open
Pour your salt into these wounds
And watch me crawl
Tell me to take it like a man
Show me my place, hurt me just because you can.
It is better to feel just something else
Than live in that uncertainty
So tell me now, how was he
And tell me was he worth it
An ounce of peace is all I want
A solemn haven for the torn and tired one,
Downcast wayward son
Can't crawl out of my hole
So I'll make it my home
While wise enough to dig no more
Don't fill my heart with your disdain
Why can't you see,
A leap without faith is what you ask of me
You pour your salt, into my wounds
And watch me crawl
Tell me to take it like a man.
Show me my place, hurt me just because you can.
Breathe with me, make love to me until I bleed
How does it feel to know that you can break me?
And I knew that you'd give yourself to me
Though the wound is too deep I would give everything
If I could just be the object of your desire
Violently unveiling your sin and your deceit
You said to me:
"Love is only beautiful when it bleeds"
Pour your salt into these wounds
And watch me crawl
Tell me to take it like a man
Show me my place, hurt me just because you can.

It's pretty straightforward: a man ruminating on the constant heartache his ex causes.
