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
