To the birds, the bees, and the sea anemones. And to The Prince of Whales. xoxo Big Bluff
lyrics
If only the hills had eyes
So together we could watch the sun rise
And look on before
The better part of the day is gone
But even the ocean
Sighs under the burden of me
And that sinking feeling
Is getting oh so, so much deeper
I won’t let this bed of bones
Be the only throne I know
My heart’s made of magma
And there’s no amount of ice
That I won’t pierce through
They call me the unicorn of the sea
But I’m the prince of whales
My life’s no fantasy
So please leave me be
'Cause I can’t cure your blues
There ain’t nothing my tears can do
The horn that you seek
Has no special properties
It seems only yesterday
I was living life so carefree
With all of my dear friends
The birds, the bees, the sea anemones
But now I’m down
Trying hard not to drown
But I’ll be better this may
Once the winter washes over me
But even the ocean
Sighs under the burden of me
And that sinking feeling
Is getting oh so, so much deeper
I won’t let this bed of bones
Be the only throne I’ll ever know
My heart’s made of magma
And there’s no amount of ice
That I won’t pierce through
For you
Don’t call me the unicorn of the sea
Cause I’m the prince of whales
My life’s no fantasy
You can’t deny me
And I can’t cure your blues
There ain’t nothing my tears can do
The horn that you seek
It belongs to me
I won’t cry for you
There’s not a thing my tears can do
If you place them in your wounds
All it'll do is burn baby burn, baby burn, baby burn, baby burn
If I put myself back
Right back together again
Will I still be me
Or just something in-between?
So together we could watch the sun rise
And look on before
The better part of the day is gone
But even the ocean
Sighs under the burden of me
And that sinking feeling
Is getting oh so, so much deeper
I won’t let this bed of bones
Be the only throne I know
My heart’s made of magma
And there’s no amount of ice
That I won’t pierce through
They call me the unicorn of the sea
But I’m the prince of whales
My life’s no fantasy
So please leave me be
'Cause I can’t cure your blues
There ain’t nothing my tears can do
The horn that you seek
Has no special properties
It seems only yesterday
I was living life so carefree
With all of my dear friends
The birds, the bees, the sea anemones
But now I’m down
Trying hard not to drown
But I’ll be better this may
Once the winter washes over me
But even the ocean
Sighs under the burden of me
And that sinking feeling
Is getting oh so, so much deeper
I won’t let this bed of bones
Be the only throne I’ll ever know
My heart’s made of magma
And there’s no amount of ice
That I won’t pierce through
For you
Don’t call me the unicorn of the sea
Cause I’m the prince of whales
My life’s no fantasy
You can’t deny me
And I can’t cure your blues
There ain’t nothing my tears can do
The horn that you seek
It belongs to me
I won’t cry for you
There’s not a thing my tears can do
If you place them in your wounds
All it'll do is burn baby burn, baby burn, baby burn, baby burn
If I put myself back
Right back together again
Will I still be me
Or just something in-between?
