Love is All I Bring

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I had my headphones in I was half asleep When the door flew open And soaked my bedsheets What the hell's happening? Everyone's yelling Man, there's chaos in the street Rats scurrying across the tracks trampling over each other Like chickens caged, dead meat I look out my window, trees shaking, shell shocked, shackled up Death row inmates, no escaping I'm so close to the water man, gotta get away Far, as fast as I can, grab a quick pack, a couple of snacks Some warm clothes, caveman No time for a getaway plan [Chorus] The earth starts shaking, the waves are breaking It's every man for himself Grab the shit that you need Get away with your health I can escape, I will not break I will give everything it takes Listen to me sing Love is all I bring [Verse 2] I ran out the back like a panic attack The wind bumping two hundred beats Gotta make it up a couple of blocks before the water takes my feet And I'm in way too fucking deep Saw a little young pup, leash caught, soaking wet Whimpering and getting weak Do I stop now, try and get the little girl free? Fuck it, she's not dying 'cause of me The tide took us both, I held her real close Dodging capsized boats, how blessed are we? Street signs, windows, blinds, dead look in people's eyes A real catastrophe [Chorus] The earth starts shaking, the waves are breaking It's every man for himself Grab the shit that you need Get away with your health I can escape, I will not break I will give everything it takes Listen to me sing Love is all I bring [Verse 3] Me and Alfie made it outta dodge, a hope and a prayer Was the first time I felt it, like God's right there There's a lot more to life than a pair of Nike Airs No explanation as to why, life's so unfair Many others that day didn't catch the same fate The odds for the average cat don't really seem straight But I will not cower, I will not cave I was changed by the power of the waves [Chorus] The earth starts shaking, the waves are breaking It's every man for himself Grab the shit that you need Get away with your health I can escape, I will not break I will give everything it takes Listen to me sing Love is all I bring
