The Inflatable Anchor (Song)

buahahahahahahahaha!! I am sooo stoked. I was driving home tonight from visiting some friends for a late gift exchange, and was listening to a song by Emery ("After The Devil Beats His Wife") and was struck by some inspiration. The song somewhat draws from the Emery tune, as well as a song by Tool (weird, I know) called "Stinkfist".

Anyway, enjoy!

You think you have this
World all figured out?
Better think again
Before you're swallowed (whole)

Your depth perception
Must be a bit askew
Because right now you're ankle deep
Treading water and sweet perfume


So I'll throw you a lifeline
In the form of three simple words
I think I can save you
Then again the choice isn't mine


It's already clawing at your waist
Take a look around you
This is a storm of suffering and bad taste
And believe me, the waves are rising

Your depth perception
Must be a bit awry
Because right now you're shoulder deep
Treading water and velvet lies


So I'll throw you a lifeline
In the form of three simple words
I think I can save you
Then again the choice isn't mine

So I'll throw you a lifeline
In the form of three simple, little words

"I LOVE YOU!
I LOVE YOU!
I LOVE YOU!
I LOVE YOU!"

Oh no!
Your lungs give way
Sucking in the poison
Of your precious world
It leaves you betrayed


I should have thrown you a lifeline
In the form of three simple words
I thought I could save you
Then again the choice was never mine
The choice was never mine...

Your depth perception
Has failed you
And so have I
And so have I

Again, if you want some explanation, I'm glad to share it!

Love you,
