Head First from Paradise by Anthony and the Mountain

better to know why
better to give in
the air is compromised
and i fold my hands into the quiet

shuffling your feet
sand turns to concrete
turns into something graceless
a light on the beach that could draw your eye

shore up sailor
don't let me down
it's hard enough to breathe
and arms like a cradle thats run aground
keeping the bleeding under control
we're still sleeping and dreaming
head first in the glow of a
white hot whale heart

better to pass through
better to keep thin
the wealth in the lie
is the debt in the skin

so enjoy the weather
or are you gonna panic?
cause the water is rising
the mountains behind you all disappear

shore up sailor
don't let me down
it's hard enough to breathe
and arms like a cradle thats run aground
keeping the bleeding under control
we're still sleeping and dreaming
head first in the glow of a
white hot whale heart
