Tonight will be
the night that we
begin to ease
the plugs out of the dam
And we will stand
knee deep in the flow
the undertow
will grab our heels and won't let go
And 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 breath in the air will be
the only thing that we have
and all the wasted nights
and empty moments in our lives
flushed away as we sway with the rhythm
of the waves
bobbing us up
Crests fall to troughs we feel
our gills open up
(Repeat Chorus 1 except last line)
the only thing that we have
and if the hook sets in
the bottom of our lungs,
we'll rip it out and
lick the blood off with our tongues
F--Am @ F Am
The despair
can ravage you
if you turn your head around
to look down the path
that's led 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
(Repeat Chorus 1 except last line)
the only thing that we have
and your love will be warm nights
with pockets of moonlight
spotlighting you as you drift
the actor in this play
And 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
