Chris Conley is god. So here goes.
This Is Not An Exit
Tonight will be
The night that we
Begin to ease
The plugs out of the dam
And 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 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 the 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 and 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 cheerin' now
So let a smile and show your teeth
Cause you know you lived it well
Third Engine
The sky grows bigger every day
And the other week I hopped on a train
Cutting through state lines
To come to you as the crow flies
Out there in the open everything was melon and orange
Did you know, my sweet
That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
I just want you to know
that every pool of water reminds me of you
Is that all right?
I hope you think it's cool
'Cause sometimes a train can't go as fast as I want it to
Did you know, my sweet
That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
I rolled over and over
Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets
Everything seemed a little easier
when we weren't one hundred miles apart
The person across from me
sitting in her train seat, reminded me of you
And I looked out past her cheeks
through the glass-light conduit
But the sun had sunk
Disappeared into New Jersey
Oh, why don't they have phones on these things?
What can I do?
I'm stuck thinking about you.
Did you know, my sweet
That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
I rolled over and over
Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets
Trying to touch your knees
Ps i finished my book ... soooo touching to me at least. i wont go into why but . wow.
