Life Support

We can lay our lies upon ourselves until we’re hot
We can stretch them out til we can tie them up in knots
Or take the time to recognize the brightest boon you have to offer
The ability to step aside
I’ve always heard the stories but they’ve never been mine
Baby we’re on life support yeah
Baby we're on life support yeah
And you don’t make it easier when you say we’re alright
Because we’re not
We’re on life support
My caffeinated cadence quivers now
Trapped between early 20s livers who think they hurt
But don’t even know how
And disassociate when faced with
The one true thing they owe each other
The opportunity to grow
And how it makes us stuttered and slowed
Baby we're on life support yeah
Baby we're on life support yeah
And you don’t make it easier when you say we’re alright
Because we’re not
You’ve got new leases on think pieces
Describing keys to every leash you’ve never known
But you felt fear
I mean real fear
When you’re born unto your podium and no one wants to hear
Like no one ever whispered no into your precious little ears
Baby we’re on life support yeah
Baby we're on life support yeah
And you don't make it easier when you say we're alright
You don't make it easier when you say we're alright
You don’t make it easier when you say we’re alright
Because we’re not
We’re on life support

Don’t call me next week
I think I’ll be busy all summer
It’s better if we don’t speak
And you’ll be glad we didn’t in September
So when you see me raise my hand
Ignore the dirt under my fingernails
Remember I’m not average
And fitting in here is pass or fail
Now I’m digging holes in my backyard
So I’m ready to climb back up
From the moment at which I decide
Not to keep my mouth shut anymore
Anymore
It’s already next year
What have I been doing all summer
And will you still think I’m weird
If I don’t break the silence by December
So when you look me in the eye
Ignore the way that I’m not looking back
Remember I’m not mean
When the medians and modes attack
I’ve been digging holes in my backyard
Even though I know I shouldn’t
Because they’re easier for me to fill
And to climb out from than the one that I put my foot in
I don’t think I’m coming out to play
I don't think I'm coming out to play
It feels like starting over every day
Feels like starting over every day
Feels like starting over every day
Feels like starting over every day
Feels like starting over yeah
Every day
Every day

You can fear most anything
When drunken wheels veer in your route
And you’re as lovely as can be
And ambulance lights shine over you
Like when beauty exists for nobody
Like dandelions or the sea
And that’s something you never see
Like indigo or the queen
And I reach out to you
Because you’ve seen me when I’ve been as selfish and cruel as can be
And seeing me again
I don’t wanna come loose
Bat City is where you came to reap
It’s where I sought you in my sleep
It’s where you began to build again
It’s where you found new foundations
Don’t know what I thought would happen here
I know that I felt you disappear
I know I create what I can’t perceive
Like indigo
Where did you go
And I’ll see you then
When the lights on the trees back home turn to green and to red
If I can
I don’t wanna come loose again
I don't wanna come loose again
But what if I come loose
I don't wanna come loose again

Hey old man
I did bad tonight
I shuddered all the doors
I shut out the lights
And I never stopped to think
Because thinking just could kill you
And I spent the night awake
Does it sound familiar
Ali died last night
I wanted to inform you
You’d tell me how he’d hide
In the ropes from Foreman
And make it out alive
I think you were trying to warn me now
All the while listening to the sound
Of your shaking son
Terrified of the world around him
Hey old man
I’ve got something more to ask you
When the vessel starts to go
Did it feel like life passed you
Is there weight to be given
To the parallels I’m living
I get shaken down by heights
And the ropes upon my back are giving way
Is it why we do
The things that we’re doing wrong now
Isn’t trust a funny thing
Once you’ve gone and earned it
Do they ever learn
We never meant to burn it down
And can you imagine the sound
When your shaking son
Picks up the phone and you’re gone
When the lights went down did you
Think there was still work to do
Do they need me still or did you think
Yeah I guess I could use a rest
And when I couldn’t bear to think
I had a bit to drink
And climbed up a ladder
To the roof
And nothing moved or mattered
The whole world seemed up just another rung
And I didn’t feel fear
Just this longing
For what came after
I wanted to tell you
Dirty hand on my head saying
Son it only gets better
So I'll keep climbing
I'll keep climbing
What else can I do old man
I'll keep climbing
I'll keep climbing
I'll keep climbing
What else can I do old man
I'll keep climbing
I'll keep climbing
What else can I do
I'll keep climbing
