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 breathe in the air will be
The only that we have
And all the wasted nights
And empty moments in our lives are flushed away
As we sway with the rhythm
Of the waves bobbing us up.
Crests fall to troughs feel our gills open up.
And sail belly up to the clouds,
The rocks scraping our backs.
To breathe in the air will be
The only 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.
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.
Just sail belly up to the clouds,
The rocks scraping your back.
To breathe in the air
Will be the only thing that you 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
