The Whale |
All you ever seem to say is, «probably not today» |
And all you ever seem to do is come up with some new excuses |
And I was reaching out |
But hey, I can’t wait forever |
And it’s true, that new development |
Burning element took your home from you |
Forced your hand to move |
Nothing else to do |
High demand no other plan |
You’ve got everything to lose |
She’s yelling always, all day |
She takes your shit to the hallway |
You’re quiet, you hide it |
But your eyes tell what you won’t say |
You feel bad, smoke good |
Think about your own dad and how could you |
Carve your name in that rosewood |
You drink, you sniff, you pop |
That might get you through the evening |
God dam this hell is hot |
You flirt, you touch, you fuck |
That might get you to the AM |
Might change a bit of luck |
It’s that violence under your eyelids |
You swim to the closest island |
So busy emptying the bottle |
You didn’t see the message |
You passed over those passing ships |
Staring at your wreckage |
And you closed every door |
While I was there |
Ready to step in |
All the noise can’t prepare you for how quiet that storm gets |
The whale |
The whale |
The whale |
The harpoon |
The whale |
And I was mad at how you shut me out |
How many second chances that you get |
And fuck up |
And I scream get over it |
Knuckle up you fucking chump |
And I know enough |
But that’s not enough |
You’re loyal as a dog |
And you’re sick as one as well |
You try to hide your eyes |
But everyone can tell |
You’re so far beneath the floor that |
You can’t even see the ceiling |
Waiting on that good old |
That good old feeling |
That knot in your pocket to stop you from sobbing |
Puts a block in your thoughts but it’s not stopping your problems |
And I want to say something |
But I’m afraid that’ll be nothing |
That all you’l hear is a judgement |
Like somehow I’m above it |
So I turn a cheek and I walk away |
But just this week I heard them say |
What you do with your pay |
And I felt pain, and I felt shame |
And I’ve done this once before |
When I tried to save my old man from chasing that fish out to sea |
But he was too far out of reach |
Lucky me, he hit bottom |
Washed up safely on the beach |
Not the same for Mikey |
R.I.P EYE |
I think about him every week |
I think about you even more |
Hoping you’ll find peace at war |
Or tell yourself to cease fire |
I wrote this in place of writing you a eulogy |
So please excuse my use of— |
It’s not my usually |
The whale |
The whale |
The whale |
The harpoon |
The whale |
