Tonight will be the night that we

Begin to ease the plugs out of the dam

And we will stand, knee deep in the float

The undertow 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

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 as we feel our gills open up

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 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 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.

You walk across the stage, take a bow, 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 cheering now

So let a smile out and show your teeth, cause you know you lived it well.
