Saferwaters

This city's saving grace
But whoever knows, nobody knows
Why he'd roll the eyes back
Why he'd roll those eyes, those heartless eyes
Well I won't pretend to lie
Once more protect my blinded sight
You'd say
For I came from a fish
You mock the place
Where I exist and live

That world is calling
So I'm crawling back to sea
Against the surge of waves that
Held us in that ancient grip beneath
Retreat to safer waters

Still learning what chaos kills
But whoever cares, nobody cares
Like you do
Why we'd abandon time
Just shut the door
Why we'd go to the wall
Claim less is more
This city's saving grace
But whoever knows, nobody knows.
