Nautical Song

Don’t you fire the warning

Don’t you fire the warning sign

You have only minutes

And I have only seconds to find

That we’re supposed to be here

That we’re supposed to find life in the eyes

But if you turn the axis

You’ll find that I am on your side

You’ll stand to ask the question

But lie the answers on their side

I need time to grow arms

I need time to push your world aside

But if your world still wants me

I’ll take the biggest steps I can find

Its forever till we know

Louder, louder

Everyone so quiet, so still

Wait for explosions to thrill

I’m out for a second chance to feel

Taller, taller

When did you grow so hard to find

You changed, but I held on

Too much too late

We both pretend

To stay the same

We both pretend

To face the day

We all pretend to stay the same

Do you hold your secrets close to your every night?

Are you happy with less?

Do you think you have years to decide?

I made holes in my lungs

I made holes when I screamed to come home

Head to toe I’m waiting

Head to toe I’ll wait till the end

For my mind holds the facts

But my feet wont walk anywhere but here

You say go slow

The nightmares, they never need know

They tell you to keep quiet

They tell you stand still

But life won’t go slow

The nightmares they always know

They’ll wake you when you sleep

They’ll shake the ground at your feet
