You crash landed in the ocean--
strip-searched with vacant eyes.
I knew that you were hopeless--
worn thin and aiming wide.
Your fragile dreams were broken--
your body dumped naked in the sea,
cut to ribbons with your trust exhausted,
like you'd always wished to be.
Dive.
Close your eyes.
Fill your lungs
with the sea.
Why?
Feed me lies.
Take your time.
Look at me.
Sent off with cheers and champagne
to live amongst the thieves.
I've filled the holes with whiskey
and I've caught their disease.
I lingered in the ashes--
full of hate and breathing fire--
so overcome
with the desire
(to) Dive.
Close your eyes.
Fill your lungs
with the sea.
Why?
Feed me lies.
Take your time.
Look at me.
Swim
for you life.
Swallow down.
Getting higher.
Fly,
serpentine.
Slithering.
Breathing fire.
Your fire is mine.
You'll fit the design.
You'll drown in the brine.
Love, fear, and all our colors--
we can't seem to get it right.
You'd steal to get to heaven;
I'd kill to know your light.
We swam as hard we could.
We tried, and we failed.
Our dawn will never come.
Our ragged ship has sailed.
Dive.
Close your eyes.
Fill your lungs
with the sea.
Why?
Feed me lies.
Take your time.
Look at me.
Swim
for you life.
Swallow down.
Getting higher.
Fly,
serpentine.
Slithering.
Breathing fire.
