Squalloscope Crying Swimmers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This here never happened
The catastrophe was only made up
By everybody involved at the scene and everybody on television

And I can never tell you
How grateful I am that nothing is real
Give me food, give me drinks, explain to me how I feel

[Chorus]
Did you get to see it all?
Did you get to dress up pretty?
Did you get to touch their hips?
With all your heart or just a little?
Did you get to live in a movie?
Did you get to get things done?
Did you get to save up money and luggage
For better, better times to come?

We can never be one

Scene two, postcard beach
I got the past and the present pinned down in binaries
We never thought about endings we could not comprehend
We thought time will stop just because we're holding hands I came unarmed with the knowledge
That every tool could be my weapon
I came undone in a river with no rocks to step on
Pebbles turn to cobblestones the way you hold them, honey
There will be a time we could be better citizens
If it weren't for the money [x3]
If it weren't for...

Just wait until high tide, to each shore its tiny flood
As if the ocean said if it could take us back, it would
All the things I don't give a shit about I dump into the sea
In the blink of an eye it's gonna spit back at my kid and me

And I hold on, I curl up where I belong
I belong wherever you are, I'm hungry, I'm wrong
We sleep with interwoven limbs, limbs and knots in hankerchiefs
I, I'm sorry I cannot leave

[Chorus x3]

We can never be one [x16]
