shallow dive

Son you'll have to grow thicker skin

Before you turn amphibian

Then you'll have to grow some gills

But if you wan't to breathe oxygen

You're going to have to live on land

And maybe I'm surprised you don't

Hey cat with nervous eyes

Maybe you can't decide

How to lose you eighth and last

Born in different gears

With symbiotic tears maybe that's the kind you chose

Well I'm used to seeing the son not

Rise it gave me pause before a shallow dive

Though I surfaced on the rain soaked rocks

I'm genius when the blood won't stop

And now because of crushing guilt

And now because I'm lying still

You don't believe in social resurgence or giving

In to giving

In

This girl I knew from fire

She'd gotten some piano wire hung

Herself from a right tree branch

That stick it bent right down

But her feet never hit the ground

Until her legs were laid to rest

Her orphan suicide

Maybe you can tell me

Why living is the accident

And no single event

Is impossible to prevent

When the odds are not your ken

Ooooh

Ooooh

Ooooh

Ooooh

Ooooh

Ooooh

Hey blue head her off

And ask her for her thoughts

Comparing us to lichen growth

It's taken twenty years

We're covered ear to ear

Beginning on the head to toe

And philodendron bloom

Your pictures in my room balanced

On an old pine shelf

Someday I will need

Every flower seed to complete

My collective growth

Well I'm used to seeing the son not rise

It gave me pause before a shallow dive

Though I surfaced on the rain soaked rocks

I'm genius when the blood won't stop

And now because of crushing guilt

And now because I'm lying still

You don't believe in social resurgence or giving

In to giving

In
