Television from No Kingdom by Sam Moss

Last night I had a dream, you were stranded on the water
And I was not the one who could retrieve you
I was trying to be some hybrid of my father
And the heroes that I've known from the TV

Will you sit right here on the bench while you are dripping
Every molecule that grabbed you in the lake
Will I whisper softly or just gently disappear
I'll try to be the sponge though slowly I am slipping

Yes I am the one who will try to hold you tightly
Even though I haven't found a place to land
I will try to be mighty in my faded skin
Though my bones can almost breathe the air

If I was the shark and you were sitting with me now
What would you do?
