Every Last Second - Nineveh

I've crossed this sea about a thousand times.
Escaped my debts and left my woes behind.
A friend a safe place where I call my home.
Collect my dues and let me be alone.
I'm not surprised you chose me, I'm your man.
Go anywhere your wish is my command.
Send me far and wide. I've got foreign dreams.
Just get me out of here and let me preach.

I'll sell my things.
My feet will bleed.
Suffer pains for your fold.
Praised as Moses of old.

But I'm not made for this, I can't convince this town.
And I didn't ask for this, my yoke will pull me down.
I know their sins too well and they know me.
I'll take my chances on the deep blue sea.

Now I breathe when you breathe.
And I eat what you eat.
As I wait for defeat.
At the bottom of the sea.
And I seethe, oh I seethe.
What a curse to believe.
As I wait in defeat.
At the bottom of the sea.

Then spit me out and let me rue the day.
I can't believe you'll wash their sins away.
Lay my head down beneath this fruiting tree.
Withered to blackness all because of me.

Whoa. Because of me.

Now I breathe when you breathe.
And I eat what you eat.
As I wait for defeat.
At the bottom of the sea.
And I seethe, oh I seethe.
What a curse to believe.
As I wait in defeat.
At the bottom of the sea.

Then spit me out and let me rue the day.
(let me rue the day)
I can't believe you'll wash their sins away.
(sins away)
Lay my head down beneath this fruiting tree.
(beneath the tree)
Withered to blackness all because of me.
(because of me)
