My Only Carry On

the water he drops
on a tile-like props
where firefly farmers
grow their crops

and music fills
your lungs
and when silence
feels like violence
can we rise above this ocean
and lift your eyes above this commotion?

I'm not to blame
for the same
Kurt Cobain pain
you inject in your veins

'cause I've checked on to this flight
and I am willing to fight
and to say that this just might

this might be my only carry on
this will be my only carry on
song

the water he drops
on tile-like props
where firefly farmers
burn their crops

like you burnt your eyes
like you burnt your eyes
on water down the light
complete with a matching necktie
complete with a matching necktie

and out of the ashes
comes a smile
that you knew you had
all the while
and I've walked that mile
and I'll walk another
so then brother
don't forget your walking shoes
don't forget your walking shoes
don't forget your walking shoes
you can take back what you don't have to lose
