i am jacks empty chest
tonight will be the night that we begin to ease the plugs out of the dam.
and we still stand knee deep in the flow,
the undertow will grab our heels and wont let go.
and while we hold, our legs quivering,
the water rises now to our lips 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
are 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 set in the bottom of our lungs,
we'll rip it out and lick the blood off with our tongues..
