Angel Can’t Swim

Angel can’t swim
But she’s out in the water
Flapping her wings
Better start looking busy
If you never try
Then you’ll never know
Nothing to do
So we stare at the ceiling.
Can you carry me?
I’m tired
Will you wake me
In the morning?
Can you catch me?
I’m sliding
I’m sorry
It’s alright.
Angel can’t sleep
So we’re staying up all night
Cutting ourselves
Just to bleed on each other
If you never try
Then you’ll never know
No turning back
So we stare at the ceiling.
Can you carry me?
I’m tired
Will you wake me
In the morning?
Can you catch me?
I’m sliding
I’m sorry
It’s alright.

No Jacket

I wish I could offer you protection
But I’m just a skinny vegetarian boy
I’m not as strong as you imagined
My knees are shaking when we walk through the dark
Around here everyone has two names
And everyone keeps changing the sound of their voices
Around here everyone looks the same
And everyone believes that they make the choices
Did you make the right choice?
She tells me “I don’t want a jacket,
I want to feel the cool breeze on my skin.”
She tells me “I don’t want whiskey,
Just let me get to know this pain I’m in.
Let me get to know this pain I’m in.”
I wish I could offer you protection
But I’m just as scared and as green as you are
I’m not a soldier or a savior
So I’ll just keep standing by you
Shaking, as we walk through the dark.
She tells me “I don’t want a jacket,
I want to feel the cool breeze on my skin.”
She tells me “I don’t want whiskey,
Just let me get to know this pain I’m in.
Let me get to know this pain I’m in.”
Let me feel it.

Wrong Again

Wrong again
I was hoping that you wouldn’t notice
Caught me crying on a stranger’s shoulder
This was everything to me.
Wrong again
Now I’m counting all the ways you’ve changed
Working overtime for fools gold
Makes no difference to me.
Wrong again
Thought I’d have this figured out by now
Give me everything I ever wanted
Just to take it back one day.
Wrong again
Why’d you have to tell me while I’m driving?
You caught me with me eyes down the road
I guess there’s no right time for this.
I don’t have enough breath in my lungs for the both of us
You don’t have enough blood in your veins to run in two games
We don’t have enough love in this room to push a heart through
I don’t have enough breath in my lungs for the both of us.

When It Rains

People change
When it rains
And now there’s thunder on the horizon
Coming our way.
Cities fall
Under water
And now there’s ocean rising up on us
A little more every day.
I run to the door
When I hear a rumble
It sounds like the storm outside
Is calling my name.
People change
When it rains
And now there’s thunder on the horizon
Coming our way
