tonight will be the night that we begin to ease the plugs out of the dam we will stand knee deep in the flow the undertow will 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 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 and 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 take 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 and 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 better smile and show your teeth cause you know you lived it well.
