lyrics

I've been drowning all this time
I slept on seashell tiles

Looking at the boats above
I recall to smile

They were only made of wood
And floating for a while

I knew they would rot one day
And spiral down to find

Me looking up to the stars and the moon
They look so pretty from under a pool

Of salted water, swimming things
Floating trash and six pack rings

Salt from tears, they're swimming dreams
I'm the trash: dispose of me

You're a shinning mermaid queen
I lie crushed beneath the sheer

Weight of my philosophy
My bones are dust but I am free

You are so beautiful
I don't deserve a single smile
From you
