The fog rolls on in from the sea.
Like a curtain draped from the bolts of heaven.
And out here the moon burns through the night,
Like the eyes of strays caught in headlights.
And I hear you hum a song I'd written.

And the condensation collects on my feet.
And my lungs contract as the curtain thickens.
And I hear you say you'd like to see what's down beneath the violent blue.
And as you say those words my legs turn leaden.

And your teeth are two white smears that cut the gray.
Like light behind the clouds.
And my heart is flapping like a bird that's trapped inside a wire cage.
I hear you laughing, saying:
"Darlin', there's no need to fear. You know how to swim."

Well, let's see how well I do.

This blue ain't blue.
It's velvet black.
A crooked mirror sky.
And we hum like stars.
And flicker off into the blank and void.
I feel your limbs; they pull me down.
I feel your limbs; they pull me down.
And now we're too far gone.
And won't ever be found.
