Ten Foot Breakers

Ten-foot breakers

Ten-foot breakers crash on the floor

Ten-foot breakers

Ten-foot breakers crash on the floor

Of my ocean

Ocean

Ocean

I hold my breath in

I hold my breath in, my lungs ache

My ribs are cracking

My ribs are cracking, my sides shake

Death whispers in

Death whispers in my fins

Death hisses

Tongue wet and teeth a grin

Do you think it's normal

To feel like you've barely scratched the surface of it all

Do you think it's normal

To feel like you've only used your claws for survival

What if I've been missing

What if I've been missing the point

The point

The point

Time for breakfast

Time for breakfast the toast is burned

The dreams have left us

Left us scrambled and stomach turned

I ain't usually like this

The milk may spill but the tears stay dry

But something changes

When you know there's no more milk to buy

Milk to buy

It's all run dry

Do you think it's normal

To feel like you've barely scratched the surface of it all

Do you think it's normal

To feel like you've only used your claws for survival

What if I've been missing

What if I've been missing the point

The point

The point

Of it all
