Lyrics

The Styrofoam is floating past the beach
Like most things in my vision, it's out of reach
In salty surf
In sea breeze
Disengaged from an ice cold earth
I watched it bob below me like a bird
Heavy oil feathers from a spill
A death wish heard
In ocean spray with salt stains on pink skin
I'm at the edge way
High on a ledge where
Nothing can stop me
You can stop me if I dare
Look what it's come to
That I'll attempt to
Vaporize and suddenly disappear
We stare like Styrofoam
Over dark undertows
Round and round
Wading
Your turn at pick-up sticks
Easy comes easy goes
Once more we oughta know
To stay tied to our own lines
Pictures fade in albums where they're glued
Captions shine in gold ink, they go along
In cursive head
Some faces
You only barely recognize
I'm at the edge way
High on a ledge where
Nothing can stop me
You can stop me if I dare
Look what it's come to
That I'll attempt to
Vaporize and suddenly disappear
We stare like Styrofoam
Over dark undertows
Round and round
Wading
Your turn at pick-up sticks
Easy comes easy goes
Once more we oughta know
To stay tied to our own lines
