Streetlight Fire Clarity
I bottled the ocean, you asked for the mountains
but I could never deliver on all my transgressions
I was never one to think that this road would be easy
but damn it all to kingdom come, take this come from me if you will
This urgency is leaking out of me
You keep your glass hands low,
I'll keep my bright eyes closed
This clarity is leaking out of me
I'll let my patience grow
You keep your big mouth closed
I am the sleep that you have been having
Weak, sparse and shifting, empty like the streets
but in the morning you will wake up
and pray for forgiveness
for all of the sins you take pleasure in while you sleep
(Is anyone there? Is anyone listening?)
I've been slashing through the canopy
and looking into the expanse
sipping away my existence
and a language I can't dance
This urgency is leaking out of me
You keep your glass hands low,
I'll keep my bright eyes closed
This clarity is leaking out of me
I'll let my patience grow
You keep your big mouth closed
You logic smells of piss and all of your sins
I'll take this dirty water and wash my mistakes away
My heart is a shipwreck, a hero lost at sea
drowning in this dirty water, I'll wash my hands clean
