Ien Oblique - Sinking

They show you all the tricks
You should’ve checked their sleeves
But we are apt pupils
And they are eager to teach
Never an empty glass
No matter where in town
Just when you think it will last
It all comes crashing down

They take you further than you wanted to stray
And keep you longer than you wanted to stay
It cost you more than you were willing to pay
And you’re left sinking
They take you further than you wanted to stray
And keep you longer than you wanted to stay
It cost you more than you were willing to pay
You’re sinking in these sins
You couldn’t wash away

They leave you drifting alone
To get yourself on track
Just as you make it home
They start pulling you back

To take you further than you wanted to stray
And keep you longer than you wanted to stay
It cost you more than you were willing to pay
And you’re left sinking
They take you further than you wanted to stray
And keep you longer than you wanted to stay
It cost you more than you were willing to pay
You’re sinking in these sins
You couldn’t wash away
