lyrics

my head’s jammed in the sand
how could you understand
what it takes to stay
my course on such a day
your parade’s my
invitation

to lock myself indoors
stretch out on the floor
drink whiskey by the glass
cursing ’til I pass out
to dream or to drown
in my ocean

sunlight glitters on the past
the time before the aftermath
I had a 50/50 chance
of a workable mind
a walkable path

what gift might you grant
a strategy or chant
to drive off the insane
voices that remain
they drown the whale songs
in my ocean

the ostrich I admire
for defeating his desires
persisting not to see
all his life could be
jammed his head in the sand
with good reason

chorus

I don’t know where you go
when I need you the most
I don’t know what to do
in this new life without you

I’ll give it one more year
of brittle nerves and fear
nothing more to do
oh for an excuse
I’m alone
in this ocean

chorus
