lyrics

You should know I cannot stand to see you touched.

Your body swayed by the filthy tide,
I swam up to shore.

Now your lungs, they have burst,
And they’re filled with birds,
And other kinds of creatures I’m scared of,
You’ve got seaweed along your spine.

The sea moves now inside of you.
You’re drowning in the mix,
All your beauty and ugliness.
Rushing through your lips,
All your beauty and ugliness.

There’s a shout from far at sea.

It’s your lungs, they have burst,
Now they’re filled with birds.

Because you left me with two heads,
You left me with two hearts,
One leg and a false start,
We’re terrible actors, couldn’t play our parts.
