Tonight will be the night that we begin to ease the plugs out of the dam. |
|
And we still stand knee deep in the flow, the undertow will grab our heels and won't let go. |
|
Abd while we hold, our legs quivering, the water rises now to our teeth when we just let go |
|
And sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping our backs. |
|
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that we have |
|
And all the wasted nights and empty moments in our lives are flushed away as we sway with the rhythm of the waves bobbing us up. |
|
Crests fall to troughs as we feel our gills open up |
|
And sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping our backs. |
|
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that we have. |
|
And if the hook set in the bottom of our lungs, we'll rip it out and lick the blood off with our tongues. |
|
Despair could ravage you if yo turn your head around to look down the path that's lead you here, cause what can you change? |
|
You're a vessel now floating down the waterways. |
|
You can take your rudder and aim your ship, just don't bother with the things left in your wake. |
|
Just sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping your back. |
|
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that you have |
|
And your love will be warm nights with pockets of moonlight |
|
Spotlighting you as you drift, the actor in this play. |
|
You walk across the stage, take a bow, hear the applause, |
|
And as the curtain falls, just know you did it all |
|
The best that you knew how and you can hear them cheering now. |
|
So let a smile out and show your teeth cause you know you lived it well. |
