This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames of my friends bodies. | |
When the flood water comes, it ain't gonna be clear. It’s gonna look like mud. | |
But I will help you swim. | |
I will help you swim. | |
I'm gonna help you swim. | |
This is for the snakes and the people they bite; | |
For the friends I’ve made; for the sleepless nights; | |
For the warning signs I’ve completely ignored. | |
There’s an amount to take, reasons to take more. | |
It's no big surprise you turned out this way. | |
When they close their eyes and prayed you would change | |
And they cut your hair, and sent you away | |
You stopped by my house the night you escaped | |
With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay | |
You said, “Hey man, I love you but no fucking way” | |
I’m sure that we could find something for you to do on stage. | |
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies. | |
This is for the lake that me and my friends swim in, naked and dumb on a drunken night | |
And it should've felt good but I can hear the Jaws theme song on repeat in the back of my mind | |
Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face | |
There are lessons to be learned, consequences for all the stupid things I say | |
And it is no big surprise you turned out this way. | |
The spark in her eyes, The look on your face. | |
I will not be late. | |
I’m sure we could find something for you to do on stage. | |
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing you sing harmonies. | |
I wanna contribute to the chaos. | |
I don’t wanna watch and then complain, | |
'Cause I am through finding blame | |
That is the decision that I have made. | |
She hopes I’m cursed forever to | |
Sleep on a twin-sized mattress | |
In somebody’s attic or basement my whole life, | |
Never graduating up in size to add another | |
And my nightmares will have nightmares every night | |
Oh, every night. Every night. |
This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames of my friends bodies. | |

I will help you swim. | |
I' m gonna help you swim. | |
