about

Please Don't Tell's first recorded release...

lyrics

We're marching in time
one ahead
two behind
burning eyes and a far away mind.
Now he's moving too fast or I'm moving too slow;
turn around or we'll never know.
Heave ho, just let him go
the monsters inside have started to grow
Heave ho, put him back in the hold
I know that I'll miss him when he's gone down below.
We have bleach that's for drinking and water for cleaning
the doctor was in yesterday
His rhythm is slowing, I sing to him only
voice cracking and breaking away
Heave ho, just let him go
I have been locked in his grasp for so long
Heave ho, I already know
the dead take their secrets far away with their bones
I want to protect him, the nurses reflect that the drugs help what's already near
I ask if it hurts but he can't find the words, then he nods and the answer is clear.
Heave ho, just let him go
death is mundane and we all die alone
Heave ho, how can I let him go?
He looks like a child in the strange and unknown
Heave ho, hold on tight, sing a song
they say that our ears are the last thing to go.
