Organs For Oceans

He slept in my bed after I filled his body 
  
With insects and panic and grandfather sewn seeds 
      C          Em             C         Em 
I was useless inside him; trade organs for oceans 
   C         Em         Am        Em 
Is there a vaccine for this?  
    C                Em       Am     Em 
To clean out all the unborn kids? 
C        Em     (x4) 
Ohhhhhhh 


He broke me good where the landlord left scars 

Emptied all the bedrooms to reclaim the stretch marks 
                 C          Em 
We were to our throats in grass 
    C                   Em 
We tore down the treehouses 
     C                Em     Am     Em 
And our brothers were kindling  
         C             Em           Am    Em 
for the love songs that we couldn't sing 
C          Em    (x4) 
Ohhhhhh 









'Cause we drowned all our songs in the bathtub 

You could hear them way up in the rafters 

And the preachers sleeping in the attic 

Stole them all for scriptures 
          C       Em         C         Em 
We sing nothing now, our mothers ask us how 
   C               Em        C                 Em 
We pray with lights out for songs to fill our mouths 
C      Em    (x4) 
Ohhhhhh
