Casimir Simonson - Laments from the Dock Lyrics

The angel on my shoulder is puking up his booze
While the devil's on the TV shouting about fake news
And fifteen little piggies are wolfing too much food
In times of trouble tell me which one would you turn to?

There's changes all around me and nothing I can do
The water's getting muddy and so's my future too
There's a face staring up at me looking overtired and blue
I asked me who he was and all he said was, "Son, I'm you"

Changes all around me with warm embraces
Changes coming at me with smiling faces

The cracking ice on the riverbed distracts me from my own head
The stars in the sky align to show that's just how the smoke blows
So light your broken cigarette and watch the sunrise with me
Take a deep breath, stay a while, we've got nowhere else to be

Changes all around me with warm embraces
Changes coming at me with smiling faces

The liar casts the stone graduation burns your throne
We're all leaving home but we're not alone
And as your chair is set aflame there's no one you can blame
But the passage of time and the stain upon your grace

Changes all around me with warm embraces
Changes coming at me with smiling faces
Changes all around me with warm embraces
Changes coming at me with smiling faces
