Sealine

(album: Forget Yourself - 2003)

The minute the sting penetrates your finger
You're strapped to the pain like an angry stranger
The moment the rain freezes in the gutter
Come the flaming birds and their hideous matter
The second the claw lifts up your chin
I'm alone in your head and you can't get in

Somebody said that it's all for you
It's a miracle, let it alter you
But I will not follow you to the sea line

Somebody went and turned it on for you
Revelation baby, you're beautiful
But I will not follow you to the sea line

The instant the transfer hits your account
And it's deep in the black, and just one way out
The morning the storm rolled to the coast
We were down to the shake, and our silent throats
The evening the trees lash at the window
The roots curl up, strangle the candles

Somebody said that it's all for you
It's a miracle, let it alter you
But I will not follow you to the sea line

Somebody went and turned it on for you
Revelation baby, you're beautiful
But I will not follow you to the sea line

(To the sea line)
It's a miracle, let it alter you
Revelation baby, you're beautiful

To the sea line
