Tonight will be
The night that we
Begin to ease
The plugs out of the dam
And we will stand
Knee deep in the flow
The undertow will
Grab our heels and won't let go
And while we hold
Our legs quivering
The water rises now
To our teeth when we just let go
Chorus: And sail, belly up to the clouds
The rocks scraping our backs
To breathe in the air will be
The only thing that we have
And all the wasted nights
And empty moments in our lives
Flushed away
As we sway with the rhythm
Of the waves
Bobbing us up
Crests fall to troughs
Feel our gills open up
Chorus
And if the hook sets in
The bottom of our lungs
We'll rip it out and
Lick the blood off with our tongues
Despair
Can ravage you
If you turn your head around
And look down the path
That's led you here
Cause what can you change?
You're a vessel now
Floating down the waterways
You can take your rudder
And aim your ship
Just don't bother
With the things left in your wake
Just sail, belly up to the clouds
The rocks scraping your back
To the breathe in the air will be
The only thing that you have
And your love will be warm nights
With pockets of moonlight
Spotlighting you as you drift,
The actor in this play
And you walk across the stage
Take a bow and hear the applause
And as the curtain falls
Just know you did it all
The best that you knew how
And you can hear them cheerin' now
So let a smile and show your teeth
Cause you know you lived it well
