The Feint

Where the River Meets the Flood

I was gonna be a rock and roller
I was going to be a one legged 
Soldier on the front lines, staying up till sunrise
Shines down 
Heaven can you send me a companion
My ribs are bare just reach your hand in
Before the wounds can close up, before
The scars are gone

Because all those times you would look the other way I knew (I knew I knew)
I kept my ear to the ground to listen to the sound of the truth

Something in the air is not at home here
I am all alone hidden beneath my skin
If you would only help me fit right in
All that I’ve learned just makes my head sick
All of the words that break my bones sink
Deep into my heart, deep into my heart

A roof and the dark and a silver ladder
Is all we really need when we search for shadows
Give me your hand and I’ll give you what you’re after
All
Ask me a question, ask me to believe you
Tell another lie, say you’ll never leave me
I’ll sail until it’s safer 
Safe enough to see the stars

Hey, how come you know my name so well?
Is it being held on the shelf somewhere?
Is it being thrown in the rain again
Baby, you’re someone I’ll probably need again
And when we meet I’ll be prepared and clean
Because I’ve been washed up in drain somehow
