Odyssey - The Accidentals

Outside the lake’s a cataract

It stares up at the sky, blind to the aftermath

We all attend a nameless funeral

You could say it’s sad, but reason has to call it beautiful

So I burn my clothes, the ones I curse when I’m alone

And I trace the night, an architect of shattered sky

And all the things I fear fade away with the coming year

A resolution in the chaos that I made

But I’m not weak, my brain’s a hurricane

Of sky and sea, Poseidon’s set a broken

Curse on me, I’m not the one who bleeds

With every odyssey

Our new deceit’s an old perfume

It masks nostalgic times, forgotten crimes die in the fumes

But Polaroids still hang in darkened rooms

The kids these days hold tight to each other in the womb

And I shovel days into the dirt and dust and fray

And I keep the score of everything I have in store

I got good at feeling pain, until no obstacles remained

A resolution in the chaos that I made

But I’m not weak, my brain’s a hurricane

Of sky and sea, Poseidon’s set a broken

Curse on me, I’m not the one who bleeds

With every odyssey

Feel the weight of cold upon your shoulders from the lake

The words you drowned leave a bitter taste inside your mouth

Whatever you have sheathed will throw itself against your teeth

Until you have the guts to let it out

But I’m not weak, my brain’s a hurricane

Of sky and sea, Poseidon’s set a broken

Curse on me, I’m not the one who bleeds

With every bruise that blooms on me

But I’m not weak, my brain’s a hurricane

Of sky and sea, Poseidon’s set a broken

Curse on me, I’m not the one who bleeds

With every odyssey
