Give My Body Back

(album: The Salt Doll Went To Measure The Depths Of The Sea - 2018)

There were deserts on the sea floor
Mountains higher than
Any peak you ever see
Up upon dry land

As I fall
I give my body back
As I fall

Past a sunken empire
A seaweed forest swayed
Hewing to the limestone road
Ancient merchants laid

Underwater cyclones
Tearing at my skin
I see the edges soften
As I shed some part back in

As I fall
I give my body back
As I fall

In the world I leave behind
A supper spread does wait
Cutlery of silver
Salt and pepper shake

The octopus is guarding
The fire coral grove
Walking on my heels now
The water took my toes

As I fall
I give my body back
As I fall
I give my body back
As I fall
I give my body back
