The Ocean Did Want Me (but changed its mind​)​¥​¥

lyrics

Thought, Think, Thunk
The top of the ship has sunk
below the surface

When you think of me
does a light bulb appear by your head?
and does it blind you?
The missing link is you
an empty space above the bed
when I am standing right behind you.
Slowly we all sink
Despite what they all said
They said that I wined and dined you

with the weight of the world upon us
is where we were wed
beside the coast

They cut off my arms
and burnt all my bread
but they cannot stop me from trying to find you
and keep you from harm
Buried at sea, stepping over the dead
With the brine of the ocean they signed us

with the weight of the world upon us
is where we were wed
all and all to drink
but nothing to keep us fed
and gravity's pull pulls all us
it puts all people and past below
It is, She is, I know

When you think of me
does the sky get all its holes fixed?
and her yeah, her, she's a tall drink of water
no buried chest but I got her

Our bodies dispensed on the shore all wrapped in
ceremonial ribbon, and feathers
a burial of women, our betters
O I'll stay with the ship thankyou, and go down with the captain

about

Nothingful San Diego, California

Spangles of opportunity in which to dimension
into the angles of music and rhythms written in the air.
Sings, plays acoustic bass guitar, dobro, sax..
The songs are uncoventional in as so many
ways as he is musically untrained.
To play the bass in the way that Nothingful
makes it would be to so as in a tuning other than standard.
I am inspired by Laziness and randomness.

I LOVE LAST SECOND SHOWS.
