The crippling weight of their every word
Left me anchored to my thoughts and nothing more
Never more
Because I let my feet sink into this hole (dug just for me)
Sinking faster than anything I'd ever dreamt of
I met him down there
A face that told me where day ended and another began
He told me that no mater the ocean there will always be wind
Without lifejackets, we'll learn to swim at last
LET US PRAY FOR THE DYING
I came over last night with a noise complaint and an empty bottle
Yelling over the sound of your empty voice
As you told me of country you hitchhiked your way over borders
I repeated the first verse until I fell asleep in your arms
Before I could leave
Watching you drown
I heard you say softly then, louder now
"I promise it will surprise you when you enter a room
And single person looks disappointed that you aren't somebody else"
