Summer Ate My Skin (Thanks Andy Hull)

from The Water Temple by Thrift Store Talent

lyrics

look at what you've done in just a year
under my tongue i keep a safe
filled with jagged lines and foreign themes
about your eyes and body shape
living in the last of several lies
i'm hoping time will obey me
trusting that you haven't found a man
who makes you smile the way i can

time is exactly what i'm fighting now
and dreams fill my mind with the worst imaginable sounds

darling, i can barely feel my face
thinking about the way you taste
sneaking glances through my telescope
across the sea, into your soul

and i'll convince the captain that the compass is wrong
40 degrees to starboard, and i won't be long

probably i'll get us in the stocks
but don't you cry. look what i've got
a shiny golden key between my teeth
i hid it when they captured me
when we get out we'll dance around the trees
in that dry field behind your house
and they will know no other love as pure
when they see ours, yeah mine and yours

you are just exactly what this drowning's for
you are just exactly what this life is for
