Single File - My Best Defense lyrics

rate me

Thinking of something blue...

Much like the rain that washed away my final memory of you

And we are gathered here today in celebration of impending fate

Let the jury have their way

As callused knuckles cross my face

The stars are out

Scattered dimples in a cloudless sky

And I remember all the flashing lights

and how they lit your lifeless eyes

Now the harbors sounding out

And I am calling out but please don't push me in

But please don't push me in

Dear friends,

I am writing this in my defense

I never meant for this to happen

Never saw the broken glass I swear

Dear friends

I am writing this in my defense

I never meant for this to happen

Zip ties and fiber choking me

These ropes biting at my feet

Eyes wandering

And I'm wondering: is this really happening to me?

Blood between my teeth

Flows from my mouth to my best jeans

Unfree release

I'm twenty feet and sinking fast

And I won't hold my breath

Let the water fill my lungs

And I will travel to my death

Tell my brothers that I am happy

Tell my mother I won't be visiting

As I lay my head to rest

At the bottom of the sea

Dear friends

I am writing this in my defense

I never meant for this to happen

Never saw the broken glass I swear
