Blue Ocean V19 [track 5]

[Intro]

"Don't tell me you cried cause I know that you didn't. Don't tell me you love me, I know I'm just trippin' cause you tore down my ego, and I listened

Why did I... listen?"


you took the reins

you had the control

whatever you say goes

you'd dip the words "i love you" in every past lover

then hand them to me

the residue of your lust sprinkled onto me

as if confetti for a celebration

of my unrequited infatuation for you

you always reminded me

"nobody else will love your flaws like i do"

you slapped me with insults

punched me with complaints

and teased me with open ended compliments

your pain streaked, iridescent lamp of love

in a dark room consisting of me and you as shadows

creating tangled lies and heartache

i'm tired of crying these tears of false hope

but whenever you're ready for me,

i'd go with you

to somewhere we can be alone

like on the blue ocean floor

and if my red eyes don't see you anymore

and I can't hear you through the white noise

just send your heartbeat, and i’ll go

to the blue ocean floor
