How Violent the Sea

from Shipwreck by Lucid Optics feat. Sleepyhead

/

lyrics

I try not to dwell on my past too often
But here I am sifting through these memories like Pokemon card collections
Impressed with the selection
From making love to examining the decrepit
I've seen death happen right away and elongated
Sometimes a mess but others it's a blessing
Etching your letters in above the time you've been here
Telamericorp couldn't predict it getting this weird
I thought that thinking went no further
The fact that I'm alive hurts her enough to murder
And I'm slightly unsure why she possesses this passion
I think passion possesses her in the same fashion
As Emily Rose just below temptations
She wanted to kill know what it's like to feel vacant
Maybe we don't have souls, or maybe lost touch
I don't remember our heads always being so fucked up

I heard our blood is an ocean
Our veins are the rivers
Our brains don't detect poison efficient as livers
Born as a taker, die as a giver
Black holes and suns living in space and in critters
This entire galaxy is the size of an atom
In one cell of one part of one body
I could tie this universe together with frightening correlations or die without trying notice anything but myself
If my blood and the ocean share a similar scene
How violent the sea both inside and out of me
The world is pixelated when observed in full zoom
Stockades surrounding will continue to consume that point of view that nobody understands you
It's only still remaining because you lend no one a hand to actually help out
You're trying to get yourself out
This sea is only calm for so long until the storm clouds

Life is a lot of urges leading where the knife is
We swarm like flies to the brightness
Blind to the blade that kills like the light did
We're looking at the terrible and taking it for guidance
These cats believing antifreeze is milk
Put it in your mouth, it doesn't matter if it kills
We only live once so might as well fuck it up
It's my generation's motto also one I why to give up
The ship riven
Wood slivers living in the innards
Blood stains every sailor hither
Loyalty laid off like I fired Mr. Smithers
The whole crew split but it don't matter that my friends are fucking quitters
I found another option
They're swallowing the remedy
Crows eat GMOs and store directions in the memory
Cells divide twice and breathe a corpse back to life
I don't need my fucking friends
I'll reanimate the dead
