Rainbow Teeth - Purge The Octopus

The elegance of beaches waiting for erosion
The luxury of ephemeral time before it's off to sea
An arcane tragedy
Billow in cacophony
Another antiquated melody

I'm combing the beach
While she's combing her hair
I'm spreading the sheets
As she's catching a tan
We keep running from the waves
I'm combing the beach

I see you sitting there
Fucking size small straight jacket
Your smile is Death's canon
Your eyes are swirling manic
Leakage from the corners of your mouth

You're catatonic

I see you sitting there
Fucking size small straight jacket
Your smile is Death's canon
Your eyes are swirling manic
Leakage from the corners of your mouth

You're catatonic
You're catatonic
You're catatonic

You were skinny enough where
When you were cold and shook
Your knees rattled like a china-
Like china on a shelf during an earthquake
Our hips knees ankles and elbows
All clanked as audio clues of how close we were getting
But then I heard the sound of china
On a shelf during an earthquake
Another audio cue I though I already knew
Your thighs seemed like they were never touching
And arms are Russian prostitute thin

I took you to dinner
But you ate your soup with a fork
And took to the bathroom after the second course
I realized I can't help you
Cause
I couldn't even hurt you
And
Same goes for loving you
I couldn't
If I tried
Hurt you

We hardly spoke though
I heard what you did
Could soften your tongue
At least that's how it felt against mine

Then I could-
Then I-
Then I hardly wrote
Our love can
Weaken your bones
At least that's how mine felt against yours

Swimming with sharks
All you need is a fin
The end

It's like swimming with sharks
Or watching a foreign film
All you need to see is a Fin
for it to be over

It's like foreign films or swimming with sharks
All you need to see is a fin
To know it's the end

It's swimming with sharks.
