Harem Scarem - I'll Be Brief lyrics

Gone incomplete These tides of a river don't flow into the sea And lungs that won't breathe I've got one last little glitter of hope - a chance for air You know, I'm gonna take five As life pa**es in front of me No guide, an eternal search for you Finds mimes, they can but don't wanna speak I'd cry, but being bitter would take to long So I'll be brief Calm and so sweet Yet trying to deliver a jolt to knock me off my feet When guns and bombs speak It's time to surrender the hope To get me on the next slow boat to Shanghai And we'll find one good reason
