about

First track on the album Saint of the Open Opera (2010)

lyrics

Constant Tide
Nathan Brown and Ginnifer Brown, 2008

Moon in the sky
Shines on the sea, Jealously
And moves by

Down in the drain
I stay in bed. What you said
Real champagne

Burn ev'ry church
If I run away, Mortal clay
Join the search

Our fav'rite game
Became such a chore, Elsinore
Price of fame

Mixing oil and water
Dressing the daughter
In her conscience
I know you don't want to hear
It broke my spirit
In the constant tide

Saltwater hints
Breakers like a crush, Igneous
Ground down since

Learned all the lines
But you're in ev'ry scene In between
Real moonshine

Psalms on the wind
Made it easy math, Psychopath
Once opened

The saddest song
Couldn't make you smile. A fair trial
Can't be wrong

Mixing oil and water
Dousing the daughter
In her conscience
I know you don't want to hear
It broke my spirit
In the constant tide

I sharpened the corners and darkened the mourners
I still can't cry
Can't get high
She thanked all the cowards as they drank to the powers
And proper nouns
That held her down

Drowning the daughter
In her conscience
Below the deepest ocean
A friend's devotion is
Never constant

Mixing oil and water
Damning the daughter
In her conscience
I know you don't want to hear
It broke my spirit
In the constant tide
