I Sent You Up Lyrics

Well, I watched the fire in earnest
'Cause I thought it would quell my pain
But the more that I saw you burning
The more I only felt the same
So, I sent you up
But the angels turned you down
And the devil already had you
Well, he turned you right back around

So, I put you on the canvas
Like a prison for all time
But I couldn't stand to see your face
Sent chills along my spine

So, I sent you up
But the angels turned you down
And the devil already had you
But he turned you right back around
So, I cut you into pieces
And I threw you in the river
Now, the fishes, they all curse me
For the poison I deliver

So, I sent you up
But the angels turned you down
And the devil already had you
But he turned you right back around
Now your body's in the ocean
About nine hundred miles from home
And your life it never left you
Well, it just wants to be alone

So, I sent you up
But the angels turned you down
And the devil already had you
But he turned you right back around
