water on the brain

new song, folks.

explain away

wash me in the sound
don’t let go until I drown
drag me on the beach then walk me around
wash me in the sound

the leaves will fall all over me
red skies breathe over the sea
and I never really know just what you mean
but the leaves will fall all over me

let the rip currents take them away
until they’re too far out to be saved
i didn’t want them in the first place, anyway
let the rip currents take them away

it’s a war between water and stone
always changing in this tidal zone
and all these people wanna share their hearts and bones
it’s a war between water and stone

the bluffs fall away at my feet
and the waves keep time with my heartbeat
and there’s no sense in trying to be who they want me to be
i just can’t explain away what I’ve seen
i just can’t explain away what I’ve seen
i just can’t explain away what I’ve seen
