lyrics

Swallowed by wails of by failures I've earned this
Surrounded by your whaling sailors I'll learn it
This is my last chance, my last chance to pull through
Swimming in my car cause there's nothing left to lose

Jump off the bridge, jump off the bridge
Say that it's time and I'll jump off the bridge
Jump off the bridge, jump off the bridge
Say that it's time and I'll jump off the bridge

One day if I could do anything I wanted to
Without harming those I love
I'd drive right into the Potomac interview
And let water flow above
I would swim Anacostia to Patuxent
And emerge wholly alive in the fall
Cause the land in summer time is so tedious
I become responsible for it all

At the bottom of Chesapeake sound
What secrets have yet to be found
Or drowned
At the bottom of Chesapeake sound
What secrets have yet to be found

Could you drive in peripheral vision
For the rest of your life
(Arrested by night, distracted by might)
Could you lie in bed dreaming new conditions
While it falls into strife
(Arrested by night, distracted by might)
And nothing feels right
Cause nothing is light

Superflous suspicion cuts like a knife
I'm begging you not to end my life

Breathe despair
Hope to disappear
This is the bottom
The nadir

Are aspirations still yours
Do expectations endure
When you're at the mercy of those who want you to break
How does your bravery land
And can you faithfully withstand
The collapse left in your best friend's wake
Feels like dying, and

I swear its not from within me this time
You tried to kill me the world left me barely alive
All that we built left the crumble by the wayside
Our ambition cries of frayed ties and shattered lives

If you're trying to save me from hell
Hope you save some strength for yourself
As well
If you're trying to save me from hell
Hope you save some strength for yourself

Could you drive in peripheral vision
For the rest of your life
(Arrested by night, distracted by might)
Could you lie in bed dreaming new conditions
While it falls into strife
(Arrested by night, distracted by might)
And nothing feels right

And if I crash off I-95
Don't leave flowers at the scene
And if I slide off MD 200
Please build the new bridge for me
I've lost everything to the brink
Now how will I carry forth
I'm a shell of my former self
Just begging to be reborn

Jump off the bridge, jump off the bridge
Say that it's time and I'll jump off the bridge
Jump off the bridge, jump off the bridge
If only if I could've jumped off the bridge

Swallowed by wails of by failures I've earned this
Surrounded by your whaling sailors I'll learn it
This is my last chance, my last chance to pull through
Swimming in my car cause there's nothing left to lose
