[Verse 1]

Quicksand is a coat of arms,

Looseleaf and some liquid fiction.

Last Rites every Friday night,

Am I weaker with the lights on?

High tide tight around the neck,

The same song everybody's bleeding.

What makes me so different?

The insides work the same.

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Am C G

You ever fear the dark impressions of your future?

The slightest gravestone whisper?

()

The stillness of your heart?

Am C

I feel it growing dark.

A fever inching deeper,

A fever inching to the core.

[Chorus]

I'll kick tomorrow,

Fight back at the pouring rain.

Am F

I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.

I'll kick tomorrow,

Fight back at the pouring rain.

Am F

I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.

[Verse 2]

Shorelines all around the world,

Bright lights and some heavy breathing.

Lipstick and the dagger's kiss-

Just a figment of a feeling.

Hands pressed up against the chest,

Holding out for the big connection.

Last lunge never looked so good,

It's a junk show all the way.

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Am C

As years go crashing by,

I think of all I've pondered,

So many minutes squandered,

()

So many things undone.

Am C

I've tried to figure out

G F

How many lives I've wasted waiting for the perfect time to start.

[Chorus]

I'll kick tomorrow,

Fight back at the pouring rain.

Am F

I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.

I'll kick tomorrow,

Fight back at the pouring rain.

Am F

I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.

[Bridge]

I'll kick tomorrow...

C G

I'll send the weak ends...

I'll kick tomorrow...

N.C.

I'll send the weak ends...

I'll send the weak ends...

C F

I'll kick tomorrow... (fight back at the pouring rain)

Am G

I'll send the weak ends... (fight back at the pouring rain)

[Chorus]

I'll kick tomorrow,

Fight back at the pouring rain.

Am F

I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.

I'll kick tomorrow,

Fight back at the pouring rain.

Am F

I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.
