Congratulations, Christopher Hodge - Can't Swim

I gave up trying to stitch or patch them up

They’re on display

For everyone to use them how they want

(It all repeats)

The plays go up on the songs that cut you deep

They want it all

Their prying eyes

Just waiting till you fall

All of the seasons, all of the days

All of the reasons I felt this way

So long (so long), so long (so long)

All of the records and all of the shows

All of the nights where I sang those words

So long (so long), so long

(The iron fist)

It holds you down and it never bares the gift

Oh, what a shame

A passing trend

They’ll soon forget my name

(The lights went dark)

A bastard son that could never hit the mark

Or fit the frame

The more things changed

The more they stayed the same

All of the seasons, all of the days

All of the reasons I felt this way

So long (so long), so long (so long)

All of the records and all of the shows

All of the nights where I sang those words

So long (so long), so long, so long (so long)

When I look into the mirror I decide myself

I can’t muster up the courage to ask for help

These problems keep appearing

It’s clear I’ve hit the ceiling

Who could ask for more than their name in lights?

I guess I’m something like a giant afraid of heights

I’m searching for a meaning

Reality is fleeting

Splitting headache

I’m paralyzed

It’s like a war zone inside my mind

All of the seasons, all of the days

All of the reasons I felt this way

So long (so long), so long (so long)

All of the records and all of the shows

All of the nights where I sang those words

So long (so long), so long, so long

(All for nothing)
