Ming The Clam

Well, I need to say this out loud
Feel it rolling in my ribcage
I love you sipping honey beer
And watching TV on a Tuesday

I'm not certain about much
But I'm certain how we touch
Is compelled by some great force
Other than us

And our sky was like a parachute
Big and blue and beautiful
And we were just two insects
Climbing up metallic waterfalls

And I was keeling over
From the shedding of my own wall
Reminder of my limitations

I soak myself in violet
I bloom in violet
I bloom in violet

I think about it all the time
What if you were to die?
A self-indulgent pondering
Would I call your friends or would I call minе?

I study all the little signs
Under fluorеscent light
Ming the clam, the mystery of the sea
Who lived beyond her time
Reminder of the grand creation
How did she keep on fighting?

How do you keep on fighting?
How do you keep on fighting?
How do you keep on fighting?
But she was gone before they found her out

At night, I hear you gasping
I rub peppermint on your chest
You vomit on the floor
I never loved you more
I never loved you more somehow
