I can hear the water whisper babe, the choir of the surf against the shore, you’re trying to keep your head above these waves, desperately begging for my oar.
All this has to stop right now, cause I’ve forgotten where my head lays, and you’ve been keeping secrets from me, all this has to stop right now.
I hear those mocking birds are singing, attracted to the fruits that you have grown, on branches, which one day will be matches, to burn you, from the very seeds you’ve sown.
fingers clicking resemble clocks when ticking and reminding me the time is right to go, because I’ve seen this all before so I beg you and implore that you don’t stoop to their new levels of below, There’s no rhyme, and reason for this crime so hold back the primal instinct to follow, and know there’s only safety in the pack ’til the farmer comes out back, unloads his rifle and you’ll die with all the crows, oh oh oh oh oh oh.
All this has to stop right now, cause I’ve forgotten where my head lays, and you’ve been keeping secrets from me, all this has to stop right now.
Now it’s time to face the ocean, to meet the tide before she goes, but still I have to ask the question on my mind so I know, will you stay or will you go?
There’s a hole in this nest, and there’s knife in my chest, you forgot just where your head lays, and though I’m sure that you’ll deflect, I think it’s time you just accept that you’ve forgotten where your head lays.
Now it’s time to face the ocean, to meet the tide before she goes, but still I have to ask the question on my mind so I know, will you stay or will you go?
