Portmanteau Video (MV)

I asked for salvation
And you're the first thing I see
You asked for love
And all you got was me
I spend a day digging holes in the ground
You spend yours putting small creatures in them
If nothing else, you're original
You're so original
And maybe it's better
Falling backwards
Over open appliance doors
When moving forward
Shines a light on the truth
Shines a light on the truth
Like daylight
Flooding into open graves
That I pray I
Won't see the bottom of the
Grey sky
I scream to hell and heaven
To anyone who'll listen
The remedy is our prescriptions
Standing at the edge of a pit
What a coincidence
Cause I'm at the edge of myself
And the end of excuses
There's an arrow in the air
Pray to God that it misses
This is not the end of things
This is just an ellipsis
This is just an ellipsis
This will not be the last time
That we see the light
That daylight
Flooding into open graves
That I pray I
Won't see the bottom of the
Grey sky
I scream to hell and heaven
To anyone who'll listen
The remedy is our prescriptions
Let's sit in your backyard cemetery
And watch our love set against
The silhouette
Of bad decisions
I scream in eulogy
For all those lives
That you couldn't save
So who will save me now
Late night
Under a canopy of stars
And of the tension
That was hovering between
We jumped into the deep end
When I knew I couldn't swim
And the passers-by
Thought that I would die
And they'd call the paramedics
Who'd come with flashing lights
And the promise
They could make our bodies right
And in that moment
I didn't need their help
But I wish that they'd stayed another year
Just one more year
To mend the broken vessel
You would rip out of my chest
And shatter on this same garden ground
They couldn't save me then
And they couldn't save me now
So who will save me now
Why is it when we fight
We fight in public
I wanna break off all connections
I see a light
Coming from the tunnel
Maybe it's best
To let it slip away
I don't know if I can do it
So who will save me now
