This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames of my friends bodiesWhen the floodwater comes, it ain't gonna be clear, it's gonna look like mudBut I will help you swim, I will help you swim, gonna help you swimIt's for the snakes and the people they biteFor the friends I've made, for the sleepless nightsFor the warning signs I completely ignoredThere's an amount to take, reasons to take more. It's no big surprise you turned out this wayWhen they close their eyes and pray to changeThey cut your hair, sent you awayYou stopped by my house the night you escapedWith tears in my eyes, I begged you to stayYou said Hey man, I love you, but no fucking wayI'm sure we could find something for you to do on stageMaybe shake a tambourine, or when I sing, you sing harmonyIt's for the lakes me and my friends swim in, naked and dumb on a drunken night. Oh, I shoulda felt good, but I could hear the Jaws theme song on repeat in the back of my mind. Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face. There are lessons to be learned, consequences of all the stupid things I say. And it is no big surprise you turned out this way, The spark in your eyes, the look on your face, I will not be brave SongtexteI'm sure we could find something for you to do on stage. Maybe shake a tambourine, or when I sing, you sing harmony. I wanna contribute to the chaos, I don't wanna watch then complain. Cause I have proved that I'm to blame, that is a decision that I have madeShe hopes I'm cursed forever to sleep on a twin sized mattress In somebody's attic or basement my whole lifeNever graduating up in size to add anotherAnd my nightmares will have nightmares every night, every night Aus Songtexte Mania
