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
