sea-gown Lyrics

I can feel it in my lungs

Heart beating like a pair of drums

Close your eyes and hold me near

'Till he's gone, he's what I fear

And I can cut my hair and my skin, but I can't change the body I'm in

But now I'm taller than I've ever been, but you still judge me like a priest

"Say, you're the most unholy sin"

And you stand at the wake and let them pull me down

But I won't fight, I'll get comfortable and drown

Sea-gowned

Tsunami speeches leave my lungs

Built up from years of having no tongue

And I know I'm always an after thought

I'm always trying to be something that I'm not

And now I'm stronger than I've ever been, but it's still hard to stand my ground and try to let anyone in

And you'll be waiting at the wake, labeled like a let-down

Because you shame me, saw me dressed in my sea-gown

Always a mirror, never a shrine

Always the servant, never divine

Always the whiskey, never the wine

Always a mirror, never a shrine

Always a mirror, never a shrine

Always the servant, never divine

Always the whiskey, never the wine

Always a mirror, never a shrine

I want to talk to god, but I fear the sky is empty

Tempted to let go, maybe make it to twenty

Drown me sea-gown, pull the seams of my

Drown me, please, sea-gown, pull some tears in my

Drown me, please, sea-gown, deadman's fingers like

Drown me, please, sea-gown
