lyrics

Translucent broken angel clings to shore
Listing lazy long the sea
This gravity is to abhor
Are you impressed by anything?

You're beautiful
but you question my taste
I've seen you so regal and full
but my vision is to waste

How can you breathe
with that tight lip purse and stare?
Now can't you see
that you're better off down there?

Countless every days wash off your back
Careening absent from the fight
Thick yellow cellophane attack
Blue pooled with oil in the light

On an air you glide
A photoexcitation
Like none other can fly
Expecting admiration

The visage looked upon to set to stone
is this the fluid work of art?
Is this the skill you choose to hone?
Is this the quintessential start?

Free from peer or bloom
Your umbrella shields emotion
When the new tide looms
Will it still be your ocean?

What can be helped
When your toxic claws are hid?
Not to push or pull
like everybody always did.

Are you sunken have you drowned
Are you everything I lost and lever found
The virtue you're the sin
and I'm everything that won't let me begin

That creeping sense of dread
and tiny voices swimming through my head
Full of lies and all so wrong
Had what I seen been nothing all along

I'm healthy not the hole
you used to dump the remnants of my soul
I'm lucid I am proud
and not just everything that I'm allowed

So much wasted on the tryst
and not a single thing that I will miss
So permittance to exist
Dictates the cry of triumph and it goes a little something like
