i am an ocean
your presence
is as warm as the sun but it seems like i only get to be
with a reflection
nobody wants
to swim in the wind
(on a cloudy day)
and every message
i traced
into the sand
got washed away
sometimes
my cries
sound like
beautiful echoes
the ocean is violent
i'm frightened
on so many levels
i am an endless abyss
i wish that you wanted to swim
but i know that your bones
crack underneath
the pressure
yet you still say
that you wanna know me on a deeper level
you can't swim
your love is land
you're only searching for that buried treasure
as if my secrets locked inside
could ever bring you any sort of pleasure
i guess i forget
you fell in love
with the mountains
i guess i forget you fell in love
with the mountains
i've never been seasick before i swam to far and i can't see the shore
