You don't know how you met me.
You don't know why, you can't turn around and say goodbye.
All you know is when I'm with you, I make you free.
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea.

Fool.
All the ghosts of the grandmothers
have been haunting me in my living room.
And I am pagan in my pondering,
wondering where it is I will go,
if I don't go here.
And the streets are full of beggars,
bragging threats of misdemeanors,
and I am shirtless in my offering
to be more than what you want from me.
Say it ain't so,
say it ain't so.
All the creatures in their masks and capes
are growing restless under costume make up.
And I am wise to what we're doing here,
but I'm a fool, standing naked and dressed as myself.
Say it ain't so,
say it ain't so.
I will keep my eyes shut.
I will, I will.
I will build a time machine,
traveling back to kings and queens.
Changing all the course of history,
so these things I've done won't make a fool out of me.
Well the children at the swimming pool
offer their bare skin to the afternoon.
And in the courtyard birds are caroling,
in the fountains that men made for them.
Say it ain't so,
say it ain't so.
Say it ain't,
Say it ain't so.
That I am cursed and insignificant,
thinking all the world revolves around me.
If you made it through all that, I'd like to hear from you sometime.

worth watching.
You have broken me, all the way down.
Down upon my knees.
(and)You have broken me, all the way now.
You'll be the last, you'll see.
(and) Some fight you gave,
when I pushed you away,
from me.
(and)In the morning,
when you turn in,
I'll be far to sea.
(and) You have broken me, all the way down.
you'll be the last, you'll see.
(and) What chance have we got?
When you missed every shot,
from me.
(and) In the morning,
when you turn in,
I'll be out of reach.
(and) In the darkness,
when you find this,
I'll be far to sea.
(and) You have broken me, all the way down.
You'll be the last, you'll see

it's just that,
I can't find my phone.
I'm antsy.
I can't sleep.
and you're...
stupid.
Night, lift up the shades.
Let in the brilliant light of morning.
But steady me now,
for I am weak and starving for mercy.
Sleep has left me alone
to carry the weight of unraveling where we went wrong.
It's all I can do to hang on,
to keep me from falling into old familiar shoes.
