Thirsty

They're gonna murder me for being honest, while feigning concern They were so laid back and just smiling on us, when I knew all the right words You know I held up for a while, underneath your mirrored sky Just leaning out the boat, staring in the water Pretending not to hear you cry And I've been feeling thirsty, like the earth is thirsty Like someone could drown me, and I'd still be thirsty The crime caught in my chest, I was put to the test On the pedestrian overpass bridge Heard the angels at the altar crying, comforting the forest Burning through a million engines Staring at the passing cars, waiting for the sun to set Dangling my fingers in the fence, I made a billboard crucifix Just a sign of the times, tried to give you what you want But I don't know how to rewind And I've been feeling thirsty, like the earth is thirsty Like someone could drown me, and I'd still be thirsty Tried to be light in the darkness Tried to be bright but I confess I got tired and I undressed Jumped into the water, dove under the pavement But I still have my fingers in the fence Trying to make the passing years make sense It was pure tenderness when I held you then Now I'm laying in bed And I've been feeling thirsty, like the earth is thirsty Like someone could drown me, and I'd still be thirsty
