lyrics

i wish my friends would stop tying
thicker ropes around their necks.
the gentle pulse of whitened static
the sirens blaring in my ears.

[and my mind is never calm
when i go there for some rest
the river's roaring and the foam is white and thick.
so i think that i'll jump in
because they all would like me to
their voices shouting at the bottom of the waves.]

i hope this will end. i don't want to find you.

i wish my friends would stop calling
it makes me certain that i'm really not ok.
there are no pills that make it easy
there are no songs that make me rest.

[and my mind is never calm
when i go there for some peace
the river's roaring and the foam is white and thick.
so i think that i'll jump in
because they all would like me to
their voices shouting at the bottom of the waves.]

i hope this will end. i don't want to find you.

when we all go home
can i put my trust in you
that you won't kick out the chair?

Spring Collection
by Jason Nazary
