lyrics

A marriage of seagulls and saltwater, fabric and lace
Befell me at 12pm, I remembered that I had a face
And enveloped in ocean, encrusted inside a suitcase
When you're in bumfuck nowhere, it's tough
Not to feel out of place

There's no sign of the city admidst treated ash water fuzz
Just a vague recollection of who I am and where I was
In the studio apartments where lines and shapes bicker and buzz
And I let the gulls have at my ankles
Just because

If only my wife knew I was captive to sea, she would start up the car from the shore
I'm inclined to break out in a song or a shout
But I don't have free will anymore
No, I don't have free will anymore

At the height of the trip, an invaluable thing that I've learned
Is that water, in spite, stops for no one
And in it, my body will burn
