Beneath the Planks Songtext
von Black Tape for a Blue Girl

I returned to find the pieces in fragments
The hands holding outstretched, in shards on the ground
Inches where it rested, my heart it was shattered
Everyone left me, they couldn′t understand

The sea, it rolled
I stepped into the water
I sealed my mouth, my warnings went unheeded
I slipped on board, the storm above raged
I could do nothing but hide

He dived overboard while I drown beneath the planks
She laughed again and stirred the course
Her rudder had broken, her oars were lost
The rocky coast grew close


I dropped the shards and lost the grip
I saw the deep as a dead man does
In my world of blurry view of lonely girl
She crashed to shore, and never knew who cared

I grew blind as the water overtook me
She crashed upon the rocks
And as the sea drew back
They all walked away
I drifted in small bits
I heard the dream crash down

The hands holding outstretched, they call to me
The past now a dream, she never could see
She laughed again, to stir another course
He dived overboard
I drown beneath the planks
He dived overboard
I drown beneath the planks
