lyrics

The sea holds you softly and then turns you around
Put my trust in something salty but it has let me down

Sardines
Packed in so tightly
I peek
They’re looking right at me

The creatures in the distance grow indifferent to my cries
Cause the ocean in its glory it has swallowed me alive

Cut feet
The mouth of some fishies
Suck the
Blood from my body

Dark green seaweed
Wraps me like a mummy
Dark green seaweed
Wraps me like a mummy

Totally love the 90s vibe! Warm fuzzy guitars meet groovy bass and drums. Makes a good sound for summer road trips, feeling young and alive again. heartcooksbrain
