lifeguards Lyrics

I used to feel like a mountain

Formed from slow subduction

Of everything i lived through

And now i'm just a bunch of dirt

You were the ocean blue

And you brought the life to me

Now i'm leagues away from the

Dried up dead sea

If only lifeguards could save me from drowning

In my dreams

Expunge the horrors from my lungs and

Pull me to the beach

These days i swallow down sand and

Wash grains down my throat and

Once submerged i'll ensure that

This body doesn't float

Today i smoked a cigarette

On the outside balcony

I had a sore throat

From seasonal allergies

My friend said it wouldn't work and

I knew she was right

But that cold menthol coating

Numbed what hurt inside

If only lifeguards could save me from drowning

In my dreams

Expunge the horrors from my lungs and pull me to the beach

These days i shovel down sand and

Wash grains down my throat

So once submerged i'll ensure that

This body doesn't float
