The Bend in the Break - Dangers

We’re from a place where the sidewalk ends

Where the black hole kids are swapping blood with their friends

But the mermaids rot, and our bodies ache, and we’re putting bends deep inside

the break

They’re catching sharks off the pier tonight

Great white fear on a full moon night when you call me up, tell me a joke about

the lump they have to cut from your throat

Trouble is on the rise

That bad moon looks like it wanna die

When does it bend?

How does it break?

If the world’s just a lover that takes and takes?

Well, where’s the line between the young and whatever else that we become?

They’re catching sharks right off the pier

You call me up and tell me things I don’t want to hear

«If you could do it again, yeah, would you do it again?

Yeah, Would you do it

the same?»

Well, I never asked for this life

Kicking and screaming and angry but now I don’t want to die

So if you want me, go ahead and try me

Try me

Try me

You and what army?

It circles 'round

It pulls us down

No, I ain’t gonna drown

Go ahead and try me

Try me

We are not afraid

Not every bend—no—becomes a break

We’re treading water

We’re feeling lucky

We’re feeling fine
