There was an ocean beneath your skin I'd splash around from time to time but I couldn't seem to stir your waters You held your tide, calm and soft behind your tongue for years on end
Until one night The pain hit just right Your winds blew violently And your waves came building from your core They crashed o'er your eyelids And broke into my knee caps I swam in you until our skies were the same shade of blue
But then one night The pain hit just right I tripped all over your words They pulled me in deeper and deeper Until I lost my breath And drowned in your chest Oh, how I sank for you
I rest here now Under a brand new sky But I swear sometimes When the pain hits just right in the middle of the night I can still feel myself choking on your life Oh, I swear I cough up salt water from your sea when I can't sleep
