Woke up in a fog and he rolled out of bed
Took a walk down the block and tried to shake off his head
And he’s praying to god to get back his soul
He lost long time ago. It got ripped from the bone
And this wine is too thin. And the high is just fake
And he’s waiting for the fiction come and take him away
Yes, the people he knows, they don’t have a clue
What the world feels like without the stars and the moon
And the heavens opened and poured down light
And the sea flourished in the dark of the night
And the sky opened and rain poured down
On all of the heads of the people sleeping in the town
Maybe he’ll find a girl. Maybe fall deep in love.
Or maybe he’ll just keep on driving slow and keep his eyes on the road
And the next time he stops to fill up the tank
He’ll take a shot for every one of them that crawled in his brain
The sea calls. It’s missing you to death
The breeze feels the ocean’s loneliness
The sky falls and it brings you to my mind
A year long of watching me dying
The tide comes and it brings you out to sea
I lie alone and you’re watching me sinking
The green blooms and it sets apart our paths
I lie alone waiting for God’s wrath
And even if you do find happiness
You’ll never know anyone the way you think you do
The way you think you do
The way you think you do
