lyrics

I am the levee here, born again and oh so steady
been fighting glaciers and patrons lies - this hole in my chest
Keep walking down this hill I hope the flames they do not catch me
Scream "Cremate Teammate, god damnit flames don't flame on me"

Deflated Volleyballs and empty Halls "You will not wander,"
Read all the signs and don't touch it please just keep to yourself
These wrapped up warming thoughts the one that are most sought up after
You keep the ones from me I'll rip up yours go straight for the trash

Take all the thoughts of you and bury them I'll wish for the best

So I'll say all and all it twas fun so nice to know you
You were a special one, my fish here in the deep blue sea
but I've got knotted line a new hook and a fucking sinker
I sank her once mistakenly wish I could take it back
I sank her once mistakenly wish I could take it back...

Waves and boats will always collide and only fish will know
Where to go, I'm gonna take it slow cause there is water in the hull

Waves and boats - will always collide and only fish will know...

I am the levee here born again yeah oh so steady
Been fighting glaciers and patrons lies. This hole in my chest
Kept walking down that hill I hope the flames they did not catch me
Screamed "Cremate teammate god damnit flames don't flame on me.."
