HAUL ME IN

Haul me in Haul me in

Every wave
will build and break so,
save me from suspense

The sea, the salt
are all the things we know
The wheel of logic faltered
long ago

Fall in easy (maybe)
or fall insane In the way
the brain unbraids
I'll stave off yesterday

And we will don the armor
just to go
to see the crawl
of water up the road

Hold, hold,
hold it here to see
No, no, no idea why me
I knew a woman who said
I couldn't love if off her leash,
and then a man
who tied my hands
when I refused
to blink…
but all along I thought
"I've never needed
what they see as--"

Haul me in Haul me in
Throw a line
through bilge and brine
I'm waving from the rip

And, please,
no talk of all the things
we've thrown
into the sea,
they're here
they'll never
decompose

Hold, hold,
hold it here to see
No, no, no idea why me
I knew a lady, she said
she'd save me, but first
she'd clip my wings
And then a guy
who, drunk, confided,
I would ruin him
I knew a stranger
and some betrayers
and a sad, old shrink
and then a blue-eyed kid
who never knew
but I did!
they had it out
for him
but all along thought
"I've never needed
what they see as--"

Haul me in
