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 your 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
