Song in the Sea

I was fifty thousand feet over the Pacific when masks fell from overhead seems some faulty wires crammed beneath our plunging cabin had finally overheated and god save that valiant crew who did all they could to keep us in the sky and calm the passengers who were plagued with panic we are going to die we are all going to die [While] we fell from the sky I thought back to my childhood in 1993 playing Sega Genesis in my basement with my good friend Kennedy skipping our swim lesson where some lifeguard would tell us how this would save our lives I bet that high school girl working for five bucks an house never knew she would be so right and as our plane crashed down we fell into the sea the further you go the less you can see (in retrospect, rhyming “sea” with “see” is pretty lame.) my mother and my father brothers family they all did fade away I don’t want to die this way The crash threw me out into the ocean where a current pushed me up toward the warm noon sun and I am adrift for now but I will soon swim to where no songs have yet been sung

We’re getting drunk and we’re underachieving but give it time because we won’t stop believing (we also will hold on to that feeling – Nate) She said you wouldn’t understand how badly they are treating me I work for tips I shouldn’t have to hope for common decency, 67 hours every week but we are not machines.

They say disasters come in three First we met then fell in lust now you’re forever chained to me And soon the baby will be here my friends have all abandoned me and I’m afraid you’ll disappeared I artfully dodged all the various vagrants in town I stoked high the fires of desire without burning us down and what do I get but a single regret of a gas station attendant and a willful weakness and all I’ve got left is this ache in my chest and a fear that your love I might lose It’s just one more thing that I can’t use I know my mother don’t approve but helping me into my prom dress I thought that was a classy move and though I was only 16 you were a man at 23 I thought that you would marry me but you ran off like the lowdown lout that they always assumed without taking the time to face the baby you doomed to a mother a teen with no family but a grandma and tombstones crumbling near the sea but I love this boy with all of my heart I’ll make him a real man at least I will try I just wish he didn’t have your eyes.

I’ll string together all these silly chords and I’ll try to find the words to tell you more Though all the days done damage in our hearts it turns out that we were never far apart and distance brings such awful tyranny but I never wondered where you were to me I always thought you sang so beautifully and I wonder why you never sing for me No one does what they want we all got to pay the rent Getting older doesn’t mean everything that I thought it meant There’ll be time to unwind when we’re all done having fun but I’m ready to be done Never mind that aching in your chest we both know I never knew what was best Desperation strange bed fellows makes some will always go and some will always stay But me you know you can count on me to leave because I’m not the type in which to put your faith Down the stairs, there’s nothing left down there, because you always knew just what this was

Well don’t worry about the future because it’s already here It’s just another car crash coming so don’t bother to steer Say hello to your frustrations you sorrows your regret and you should hold on to your socks you ain’t seen nothing yet Well this ain’t no swinging 50s this is no golden age All your cold wars seem much colder when they don’t have a name If the future is too frightening you can live in the past but taking solace in what’s promised is a joy that won’t last There’s a road and we can take it if you don’t mind the walk and I’ll keep my mouth shut if it’s too hard to talk But there’s no use in shoveling a hole that you’ll never fell and you keep saying that you won’t but I bet that you will Tell me something that you want to believe and I can show all the biggest threats that you’ve ever seen / Turn down all the volume so you can’t hear the scream / Tell you what they’re saying and what they really mean / Show you all the fractures and the cracks in the seams
