lyrics

Zero to sixty, you lift me up so high
Make me feel like I have been in love a couple hundred times
Buoyant and inspired
I yell and scream for higher

A sea of incredible hands under my back
Tossed into the awesome of the options within black
A sunflower so giant
that gods as ants can't climb it

I'm made pain-filled
anxious, canker-ridden
split-open cysts
like white-yellow war wounds
I'm spit from the brown
inside to this pool of arsenic
and then I wake up

Why does each one of my dreams end in water?
I don't want to think I'm cutting my own Island
The boar is laughing in a smoke-filled clearing
I run to make a cave where he once stood

I keep pushing back the thick breeze
Find me looking like I'm underwater
