lyrics

See the footprints of past lives splintering
across the land; nothing grows here.
Nothing I know serves me as the water
coasts up the walls. Drowning
is a new kind of fear. It only
comes about when you're near
the water. I am more afraid of fire.
I'd rather drown. I'd rather drown.
I'd rather own the feelings than take
them for granted. I'd rather build,
build like a boardwalk, sink like
a sandpit, fall like a crashing wave,
than pretend that love is some kind
of statue to be licked and kissed,
to be worshipped. I will not worship
you. I will not criticize you either.
I will not be the toxic acid you
want from me. I will tend to you
like a flower, like a tree. And if
you die, I will bury you by the sea.
I will bury you by the sea, by the sea,
by the sea. Don't feed the thoughts
that gather like hungry sheep. How
long do I have to wait for these
eyes to die? How long is
the reach of misery?
