lyrics

the most desolate stretches of highway surround me when I say I am home

stretching out like the sorest of arms through the heat reaching to the sea grasping

towards a life that was never mine

towards my ghosts in the thickest darkest pines

where the moon dappled snow takes the form of a hearts deepest fears

they can find you in your room under the covers with all the lights on

it doesn't matter thousands of miles only makes them stronger

I fell in love with the shadow you cast it enveloped the whole coast it let me remain

exiled by nothing married to escape

I had hoped to wake up in the morning as oh something else anything anything else

oh the undertow grasps at my ankles and I'm tumbling I remain spinning

through the dark to stay out at sea where there is no easy answer and I am only me

and the foam on the waves isn't safe but it's something like home

it's a process we've been told but legends of comfort are haunting our bones

it doesn't matter trying to change only makes it harder

I fell in love with ideas of boys salvation disgust validation and pain

take my awful body wrap me in lace and drench me in honey

diving back into the salt we are safe no boys allowed can this just be my place?

scream under water bubbles come out is this tears or laughter?

mom I'm so sorry I can't be your girl I am a strange creature of sadness and words

but I am not leaving you are the one who showed me the ocean
