Bent
We know it, yet I can't help but repeat
Between you and me are no borders
Only several miles of sea
As I keep plunging myself underwater
Trapped in a metal house of need
No pin-ups on the wall; only your photo
Sitting over my bed, looking at me
In a smile that's almost forgotten
Nights and days down here are the same
Darkness and reefs, signals and whales
Sharing their lovesongs with the whole murky reign
And the radars are going crazy:
In those noises I keep hearing your voice
And how you pray for me, Sally, I know
But hands of a clock that won't let me go
Twitch in a loop as it's snowing
I won't be for summer, nor return for the fall
Unless duty unchains us: still hoping
While caught on a diet of fading tinned meat
Sealed in the can till we're cracked open
No pressure is stronger than the way how I feel
When I know I'm not coming over
And every time I descend into thoughts
I'm bent by your absence, and just long to get home

Nights and days down here are the same
