Take me to the beach
I want to see how much the tide will bite me
I want to see the moon blushing at her reflection
when it bounces off our eyes
Take me to the beach
It\'s warm today. there\'s a breeze, here to hold us,
Let\'s watch the meteor shower.
Let\'s pretend we\'re the dinosaurs
That was their ending, how their light switched off-
but what the universe is sling-shotting through our sky,
Swimming like tattoo ink
Onto the skin of the night- this?
this is our beginning.
Take me to the beach
I can\'t swim but hell I\'d try
If it\'s what you want, I will
If it\'s what you want, I\'ll do it
Let\'s make a man out of driftwood
give him skinny arms,
seaweed hair, and no heart.
I\'ll name him meaningless, after your worries
He has the same sneer.
Your hand\'s heart-splitting but calloused in mine
the sunset smiles in your nail polish
Take me to the beach, you said
all those years ago.
three years ago, I tried
Our driftwood man floated too far out to sea.
it was warm, the breeze choked me
It\'s too far, I tried to scream
we can\'t save the driftwood man.
But the breeze tightened his fingers around my throat.
the tide has teeth
Grotty and sharp and blacker than cat\'s pupils
I couldn\'t swim
But to save you from hades I tried
To rip you from death\'s jaws I failed.
Here I am, I\'m at the beach.
Watching the meteors.
Just me the moon, and my driftwood girl-
A fingertip out of my reach.
