Thinking of something blue...
Much like the rain that washed away my final memory of you
And we are gathered here today in celebration of impending fate
Let the jury have their way
As callused knuckles cross my face
The stars are out
Scattered dimples in a cloudless sky
And I remember all the flashing lights
and how they lit your lifeless eyes
Now the harbors sounding out
And I am calling out but please don't push me in
But please don't push me in
Dear friends,
I am writing this in my defense
I never meant for this to happen
Never saw the broken glass I swear
Dear friends
I am writing this in my defense
I never meant for this to happen
Zip ties and fiber choking me
These ropes biting at my feet
Eyes wandering
And I'm wondering: is this really happening to me?
Blood between my teeth
Flows from my mouth to my best jeans
Unfree release
I'm twenty feet and sinking fast
And I won't hold my breath
Let the water fill my lungs
And I will travel to my death
Tell my brothers that I am happy
Tell my mother I won't be visiting
As I lay my head to rest
At the bottom of the sea
Dear friends
I am writing this in my defense
I never meant for this to happen
Never saw the broken glass I swear
[x2]
