lyrics

what exists there beyond the ocean?
is it worth swimming to?
is it worth drowning for?
crossing seas with hands and feet
my long limbs could move me for hours

i will reach out
and touch the water
you say a horseshoe crab struck your knee again
and left a bruise to stay behind
you let your body drift out to the sea
caught in some great current now
the drowning waves like fruit to fill your mouth

i only let myself down
now there is no "you" now
on any coast

i am wading up to my chest
i thought i saw you there
in the wave's crest
billowing i've seen before
i rise up and am forced down by a wave
in drowning waves my life will end
off the coast of a place i've never been

i only let myself down
now there is no "me" now
on any coast.
