cracking the armour, yeah. I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun. Choking on salt water. I'm not giving in. Swim. You gotta swim through nights that won't end. Swim for your family, your lovers, your sisters and brothers and friends. You gotta swim for wars without cause. Swim for these lost politicians who don't see their greed as a flaw. The currents will pull us away from our love. Just keep your head above. You gotta swim, swim in the dark. There's no shame in driftin, feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark. You gotta swim, don't let yourself sink. Just find the horizon, I promise you it's not as far as you think. The currents will drag us away from our love. Just keep your head above. Swim.
Regina Spektor- "Samson"
You are my sweetest downfall,
I loved you first, I loved you first
beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth. I have to go, I have to go.
your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed,
not much hair left on his head.
beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth. I have to go, I have to go.
your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed,
not much hair left on his head.
he ate a slice of wonderbread
and went right back to bed.
history books forgot about us
and the bible didn't mention us, not even once.
you are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
beneath the stars came falling on our heads
but they're just old light,
they're just old light.
your hair was long when we first met.
Samson came to my bed,
told me that my hair was red.
told me I was beautiful and came into my bed.
I cut his hair myself one night,
a pair of dull scissors and the yellow light.
he told me that I'd done all right
and kissed me until the morning light, the morning light
and he kissed me until the morning light.
Samson went back to bed,
not much hair left on his head.
ate a slice of Wonderbread
and went right back to bed.
we couldn't break the columns down,
no, we couldn't destroy a single one.
the history books forgot about us
and the bible didn't mention us, not even once.
you are my sweetest downfall,
I loved you first.
