Hopeless Ocean Drinker

You're only restless in your right mind
You're only confused when there's no water on the lenses
When terms are absolute
Another hopeless ocean drinker swallowing all the blue
Another vessel of undone dreams

Like a kiss that misses the mouth
A promise peeling off of the skin
A miracle feeling with limited meaning

You always overdosed on lost time
Things that you didn't do
Three lovers sleeping in the same bed
Some "Jane Says" karaoke fools
And when you tried to make yourself puke
It was no use
It was already in your bloodstream

Like a kiss that missed the mouth
You just regurgitate what you've been
A parasite feeding
The world is uneven
Even when the windshield popped out
You were just a passenger buckled in
Careening and bleeding
You still couldn't feel it

You just want to sleep through the collision
Sleep through every decision
Twenty-one to thirty-seven
Come to when you're either forgotten or forgiven
Your lungs fill with fluid in less than a minute
