I cut it because, I know that I I don’t. A cold swollen body, Won’t always float. Saltwater’s more harsh, It stings in my throat. Traversing the seas In a decommissioned boat They say when the lungs, Swallow it in, You're taken over by calm, Three scars on your shin.

A book that I’ve already lived
I cut it because, I know that I I don’t. A cold swollen body, Won’t always float. Saltwater’s more harsh, It stings in my throat. Traversing the seas In a decommissioned boat They say when the lungs, Swallow it in, You're taken over by calm, Three scars on your shin.
