Saves The Day This Is Not An Exit Lyrics

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
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.

Despair could ravage you
If you turn your head around
To look down the path
That's lead 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 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.
You walk across the stage,
Take a bow, 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 cheering now.
So let a smile out and show your teeth
Cause you know you lived it well.
