"Craters" lyrics
"Craters"
There's a crater in my living room floor
I have to walk around just to get to my front door
And it's embarrassing having people over
Watching them politely trying not to fall
Trying not to fall
There's a crater in the middle of my chest
I've had to rearrange each organ and I confess
It's been a little hard having people notice
Everything I feel
Deep inside me when
I'm just trying to pretend
I know one day they'll fill in
I know it will be fine
I know by now becoming whole again
Just takes time
We all need a story of hitting rock bottom sometimes
And these craters will be a part of mine
There's a crater on the left side of my bed
I have to lie facing the right side or I get upset
And it's humiliating having lovers over
Watching them retreat backwards down the hall
Not mentioning it at all
I know one day they'll fill in
I know that it will be fine
I know by now becoming whole again
Just takes time
We all need a story of hitting rock bottom sometimes
And these craters will be a part of mine
But I'm gonna launch right off the bottom
Of the deep holes you left
I'm gonna use these scrappy wings
I found while cleaning out my chest
And I'm gonna soar so beautifully
It'll hurt your eyes
But today it's just these craters and I
I know one day they'll fill in
I know that I'll be fine
I know by now becoming whole again
Just takes time
We all need war stories to look back on and smile
And God damn it, these craters will be mine

Evermore - "Hey My Love" Hey darling, where's your light
It seems like such a shadow of what used to burn so bright
Hey now now, it don't seem right
Sometimes life's a battle but you're not alone in the fight
Hey my love,...
Vera Blue - "Heroes" I, I will be queen
And you, you will be king
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins,...
John Butler Trio - "Revolution" So tell me family now what do you think ?
Watch it all go down the great big sink.
Watch how the scum it rises to the top.
Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop?
Sometimes I wonder how we do...
Passenger - "Rivers" There’s wood chip on the walls,
There’s wood on the stove,
You would if you could but you cannot I know,
But I’m still yours alone.
We’d lie on our backs,
We’d lie on your floor,
But we lied so much...
