Love Is All I Bring

(It's every man for himself) (Grab the shit that you need) (Get away with your health) (I can escape) I had my headphones in, I was half asleep When the door flew open, soaked my bedsheets What the hell's happenin'? Everyone's yellin' Man, there's chaos in the street Rats scurryin' across the tracks Tramplin' over each other like chickens caged, dead meat I look out my window, trees shakin' Shell shocked, shackled up death row inmates, no escapin' (escapin') I'm so close to the water man Gotta get away far, as fast as I can Grab a quick pack, a couple snacks And some warm clothes, caveman No time for a getaway plan The earth starts shakin' The waves are breakin' 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 everythin' it takes Listen to me sing Love is all I bring I ran out the back, like a panic attack The wind pumpin', 200 beats Gotta make it up a couple of blocks Before the water takes my feet and I'm in way too fuckin' deep Saw a little young pup, leash caught, soakin' wet Whimperin' and gettin' weak Do I stop now, try and get the little girl free? Fuck it, she's not dying 'cause of me ('cause of me) The tide took us both, I held her real close Dodgin' capsized boats, how blessed are we? Street signs, windows blinds, dead look in people's eyes A real catastrophe (catastrophe) The earth starts shakin' The waves are breakin' 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 everythin' it takes Listen to me sing Love is all I bring Me and Alfie made it out of dodge, a hope and a prayer It 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 that 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 The earth starts shakin' The waves are breakin' It's every man for himself Grab the shit that you need Getaway with your health I can escape I will not break I will give everythin' it takes Listen to me sing Love is all I bring
