As I sat facing the open sea,
alone always alone
Waves crashing earnestly on the beach
Waves crashing earnestly on the beach
in surround sound
I felt your warm briny soul
I felt your warm briny soul
reach out to me tingling
Arising from vapours
Arising from vapours
in the midnight sea breezes
A smoky caress from a shooting star
A smoky caress from a shooting star
falling in the water
Do you see the self-critique
Do you see the self-critique
peeling away from my vulcanized heart?
Sheets of black blood
Sheets of black blood
flowing through the ocean sprays?
Unfinished. Alone. Raw.
Unfinished. Alone. Raw.
The seas wash it all away,
all that self-hate
This dusty universe
This dusty universe
that contains all the souls of the dead
Ocean-sprays that shoot their antidote
Ocean-sprays that shoot their antidote
in my eyes and nose
Death and rebirth by salty water
Death and rebirth by salty water
is the next adventure is it not?
Why don't you have it in the seas,
Why don't you have it in the seas,
your coming of age,
your pre mid-life crisis?
The final and the first Amen
The final and the first Amen
to a life spent blowing jets of hope
Into the dry dirtily demanding land-winds
Into the dry dirtily demanding land-winds
that heed you not
Here it comes,
Here it comes,
Neptune's jagged emerald sword
crashes over your head
A memorare,
A memorare,
a jigsaw that drums out
the mermaid soul you were born to have
