Graham O'Brien - Friday lyrics

[Verse 1: Joe Horton:] Show me a picture of the only eye open Love struck violin strings lit her parting lips Blown kiss ‘ Door's wide open Unlock, the terror came ‘ Dead bolt, dull the pain Explain to me again why it's safe to be afraid of the dark And how I'm really brave for the way that I behave When father writes a letter says I have a new brother My lover and the ocean are a million miles away I take a deep breath from the belly of a wave to steady my legs Haunted by the people on the pier with their plastic souvenirs Trying to disappear, just to prove they're really here That kind of vision's not a gift, it's a sick joke But how do I explain that and not sound insane? Instead I feel ashamed for the selfish things I say When she grabs me by the waist to ask if everything's okay Old man walks by, arm and arm with his wife He let's her go ahead, looks me in the eye Says I couldn't help but see you there hanging by a thread And I believe that I was sent here to help you let go Everything has died a million times So what's one more d**h to a false god's threat Some strings vibrate ‘ Some stay mute Truth is, we all make noise from the silence that we're given 27 co-dependent monkeys on a junky's back Similac the nursery and wonder where the habit's at Build yourself a habitat the madness can't penetrate Say a little [love] prayer for the planet when you meditate [Chorus: Joe Horton:] Drink water ‘ Listen to the water Breathe like the water ‘ Go to sleep with the water And you'll be like the water ‘ Fluid as a stone Long as you love her you'll never be alone Drink fire ‘ Listen to the fire Eat like the fire ‘ Learn to speak like the fire And you'll relight the fire ‘ Cool as a stone Long as she loves you you'll never be alone [Outro:] Won't build my home outta sticks and stones Gonna build my home outta flesh and bones
