Music & Lyrics: John Popper
How promising the start
of the letter being read until the captain proclaims
"Dying is my heart"
Then a hush befalls the crowd as the theatre exclaims
"Now the hero's part is played"
and they continue as the lights come on and they get up to go:
"And we are all betrayed
for our champion he bleeds and cries like us"
Do they deserve to know that
Yes I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around the darkness of an empty house and there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
Should the love inside me die
Come save me, I'll be drowning
Just a few feet from the beach
Please give it your best try
Though I may do my best to
Distance you and keep your arms from reach
I'm really begging you to stay
But the only way that I know how
Is by riddle or by game
It seems noone wants to play
As I float on out to sea
I never sink, I just drift away and say that
Yes I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around the darkness of an empty house and there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
If ever I could ease your pain
No, don't think I'd release you
I'd spin fairy tales instead
Or else you'd never need me again
And though I know my hold's pathetic
It's letting go that I greater dread
Call it a joke that hides a dream
It takes a great deal more than joking
To make any dream come true
So rock'n'roll and kick and scream
For what it's worth I can't
Resist this flame and fire to finally
Say to you that
Yes I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around the darkness of an empty house and there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
