John Vanderslice - dead slate pacific lyrics

at my low point

I went to a professional

he asked me some questions

sent me to a doctor

there's a moment there,

when you're under a doctor's care

when you're safe and hopeful

punched in the code

ran up the stairwell

he asked more questions

gave me celexa

that's when I really knew

the only thing standing between

me and that long rope over a carpenter's beam

was you

I went off the pills

bought my ticket

I used to think

there was nothing between us

just 6,000 miles of

the dead, slate pacific

but on that united flight

in a white hot panic I

sank to the bottom of the sea

my countless horrible creatures

complicated undersea secrets

if I didn't go diving there

with a spear gun, knife and flare

how would I ever make it through

that's when I really knew

the only thing standing between

me and that long rope hung on a carpenter's beam

was you
