Simple Song

110 4 1
                                    

I revel in the open air my will provides.

I wallow in the willows mighty arms.

while the world sleeps I will try to fill the night

To silence that echoing alarm.

Our tongues are made of poisons and pesticides.

Our laughter makes a funny fucking shape.

Our bodies do reach up like a dandelion.

Sometimes I wish we'd all just blow away.


So call me friend

The ancient end

And we will be

The rising sea.

Beware these open hands.

They're yours if you can

Grab them out of the dreams

Of the man I want to be.


I left them on their own to save the girl this time.

I'm sure they know all the words to say.

Does going through the motions make me a parasite

Or is that the only way she knows that she's OK?

Well i'm not here to teach you any lessons dear

No I'm just here to take up space.

And once you lose my name I will disappear

And fade into another familiar face


So call me friend

The ancient end

And we will be

The rising sea.

Beware these open hands.

They're yours if you can

Grab them out of the dreams

Of the man I want to be.


My love is an ocean I can't control

So I build a dam to hide from myself.

But if you keep on swimming from the sun ya know.

You'll find the darkness waiting in the depths.

And I'm not here to make it any simpler dear

No i'm just here too bubble all away.

To wait until I feel you in the atmosphere

And forget all the funny things to say.


So called me friend

To the ancient end

And we will be

The rising sea.

Beware these open hands

They're yours if you can

Grab them out of the dreams

Of the man I want to be.
