Sink

Mama had a baby so she could be fulfilled
Now it has to decide what is truth and what is will
The prospects of the army and the church and of the schools
Don't let it weigh you down, stay alive and do
What you think is cool!
And let regret fucking die!

The restrictions on the lives of the people that I know
They do it to themselves, fill their pockets up with stone
And when you grow old that's when you get cold
I spend some time wondering, what happened to the people that I know?
Did they all fucking die?

So take your time
There won't be time later on
To fill your pockets up with stone
And when you sink, just know
Above, the waves of good times
Keep rolling toward me and mine

Life will stab you like a knife and hit you like a ton of bricks
Stay light on your feet, breathe it in, don't get sick
Better find out what you want and you better get it now
Permanence seems to encumber you somehow

Now to settle is to die so you gotta shake it up
I'll be damned if I sink to the bottom of the cup
No never again

So take your time
There won't be time later on
To fill your pockets up with stone
And when you sink, just know
Above, the waves of good times
Keep rolling toward me and mine

I've got nowhere to go but up
It wasn't quite clear
What you said when you tried to gasp for air
No worse for wear
Under the lights tonight
There is always a place for you
Some things should stay alive

So take your time
There won't be time later on
To fill your pockets up with stone
And when you sink, just know
Above, the waves of good times
Keep rolling

So take your time,
There won't be time later on
To fill your pockets up with stone
And if you sink, just know
Above, the waves of good times
Keep rolling toward me and
Mine
