Adriatic Lyrics

I've held onto this for so long tho know it's gone

A buoy floating me yet coaxing me

Behind the boot I lick the salt from wounds soaking

In the Adriatic

We swam up that route, it looped back through blackwater

In crescent stress you turned red, all hot and bothered

(All I had I offered) "Would you trail and trust me now?"

I gave a heart growing

To the Adriatic

You told me about your plants, they're rootless, not delicate, they hang in air

We walked by some dinosaurs

Caught your embrace, a life vest I've waited so long for

I kept on floating

And then at night, we cast warm light and ladybirds, staving that black city

Sacred resound, we staked our ground, your hand in mine

But I felt it slipping

To the Adriatic

And so behind that brush, all in a rush, I said too much

I should have hushed, upon that rock it was all too soon

You didn't wanna swim, you didn't lean in when I went out on a limb

You got cold footing

I got a parking ticket

Now I'm hypernatremic

And so dogmatically that black city it captures me

A prisoner so willingly

Swallow somatically, familiarly enveloping, it's almost comforting

My body withdrawn

From the Adriatic

And later on I asked about that heart growing

Drank too much rain, that black water, it got guttered, and so it drowned

While that one sank

Mine's still floating

In the Adriatic
