My mother lost her mother twice Once in '54, then later in life The exchange was quick and quiet The records sealed, the names made private Her search began and ended with a judge Her papers had been claimed in a freak basement flood An entire family tree An eternal privacy Underwater Underwater I am afraid to see my heroes age I am afraid of disintegration If you're not here, I cannot be here for you If you're not here, I cannot be alone Mother, father I'm underwater And I don't think you can pull me out of this There's virgin oil painted over my door And hotel soap from every city Lined up in my window Blew my per diem on an eighth of Blue Dream So I can breathe but I still can't breathe Around my mouth, brown paper bag Founding fathers on my back I'm no martyr I'm no martyr I'm just Afraid to see my heroes age I am afraid of disintegration If you're not here, I cannot be here for you If you're not here, I cannot be alone Mother, father I'm underwater Underwater Underwater I've so much that I want to sing But there's no room for toothbrushes and poetry, I Pray to Jesus Christ incessantly, I Shine my shoes for the Fat Lady, I'm still Underwater I'm underwater Underwater Underwater I am afraid to see my heroes age I am afraid of disintegration If you're not here, I cannot be here for you If you're not here, I cannot be alone Mother, father I'm underwater And I don't think you can pull me out of this I will no longer claim to know Where we go when it's time to go But when you go, will I go too? When you go, I am going too I'm underwater I'm underwater Mother, father I'm underwater I'm underwater I'm underwater Mother, father I'm underwater

The eye of your mind can find That everything is divine. Take comfort in the absent control, Life lives randomly. Tonight may be dark but theres stars And tomorrows a bright new day. Now your past future self Lives life infinitely. Even if the gods are as cruel as you say Don't lead your flock astray. Peace be with you and back to me. Love is the one true key. Ooo ahh The eye of your mind can find That everything is divine. Take comfort in the absent control, Life lives randomly. The universe is you and it is me. Consciousness breeding. Encompass everything and let it be. Don't change what you cant see. Ooo ahhh

You confuse me, I can't tell if You're trying to use me. You say that we're friends, But i can't tell if This is just a dead end. I don't wanna leave, But when I'm with you, Its hard to breathe. Others say you're a slut, But when I'm with you, You're anything but. Ohh, yeah, I can't find my way Ohh, yeah, Can't make this problem go away now Ohhh, yeah, Let's fly away Ohh, yeah, I know I want to stay I confuse myself, Maybe it's cause I ain't got no one else. Oh how I try, But nobody wants to Be mine. I got two heads fighting, And they can't decide What's to their liking. You fit like a glove, Maybe that's what they call Platonic love. Ohh, yeah, I can't find my way Ohh, yeah, Can't make this problem go away now Ohhh, yeah, I can't find my way Ohh, yeah, I think I want to stay Maybe this is right, I don't want to Just fuck and fight. Maybe I'm just a fool, But why can't you use me Like those other tools. Maybe I'm just lonely, Fuck if that don't, Make me horny I'm not in love with you, I just love your attitude. Ohh yeah, I can't find my way Ohhh yeah, Can't make this problem go away now Ohhh, yeah, Maybe just fly away, Little dove Ohh, yeah, Don't know if I can handle this Platonic love

You will never be the one, but you will be yet another one. Its true that I may have told you things, Like that I'll love you indefinitely But I only tell lies to get inside you and plant these dreams. Then I will let them bloom and consume you beneath the seams. You will be left there all alone, Whilst I go planting dreams. Then you'll learn what you should have known, I never loved you or so it seems... Because I will still try to tempt you with happy things. But the tears of the night will beg you to let it be... I will hurt you And tell you anything to be the one who Can be your everything. I will hurt you And tell you anything to be the one who Can be your everything.

Hey pretty baby I see yah coming back my way, Do you remember me? I saw you through a window That was clear as day, Memories of dreams. The pain I saw in your eyes Made me want to say, Do you remember me? A smile so bright it burned All my fears away, Memories of dreams. I was alone while you were at home, At night you told me you cried. Over the phone theres someone to hold, Dont force me to look in your eyes. You were so high when I was so low, infatuating is blind. A loss of control, The black golden rose, You forced me to look in your eyes.

Be my one true lover, As I pull you closer and closer, Is it too much to ask of you? To be there for me and not... Be my one true lover As I push you further and farther, Is it too much to ask of you? To be there for me and not...
