Tides
I think if I could swim it might be rather fun
But for now I’d rather run
Because the sea levels are rising and I think they might just swallow me whole
And the night would go quiet
They might think it droll
That someone apparently as smart as I
Could go into the water and just fucking die
But I
I saw this one coming
About a mile in advance
That’s why I think that I might rather
Feel free to jump before I fall
They thought that I could have it all
But you see that’s a bullshit call
If the water didn’t kill me then the people would
It might not be murder but it’s just as cruel
This slow intoxication and then quicker suffocation
Hurts about as much as you’d think, you fool
So I
I might not make it through
The night might break our crew
The thing is it’s just not my fault;
But you’ll never know the fullest truth because
My feelings are locked up in an air-tight vault
And I
I’ll get to montreal
If it’s in my dreams that’s fine
But I need something to hold
Besides this fragile breaking line
Nothing too divine because I can’t even figure out
If I should stay or I should go
But you’ll just say not down below
And you’ll lie to my face
So let’s back up just a pace
And you
You will make it through just fine
But will you still be so damn blind
When I’m out of here and there’s nothing to fear
It’s just you in the mirror
Wondering what you could’ve
Maybe should’ve
Done
To save us all
Well you cannot win them all
You see, goodbye and have a ball
It’s just that I can’t stay here
Cause of what I hear when I
fall
