  • Marine monster stuck in Indian summers
    And damns on the line but funny is the photo
    It's floating away, going away on the tide
    Crystalized wished like kids cried for Christmases
    Ticking off lists with the pens and the fists
    Before floating way, going away on the tide
    On the back of a beast and in that charge
    Down a broken beach, the little stars
    They spin the shots, the shards light on down
    To the mouth of the sea and the morning comes
    And in they carve the edge of the world
    And the locks of fire go lying around
    What when you heard it say forward first
    Transfer through the person, a mystical blur
    Got you going away, floating away on the tide
    Everybody ran basements, and pit falling caves
    And crackling tapes cause faints
    Well, this songs means I'm going away, I'm floating away on the tide
    Down the bloody beach with a burnt out car
    So little I see, there are slicked out stars
    All screaming for a distant, high roof
    And the fizzed out snow, look out, folks scream
    And saw a broken ghost in an old soap scene
    ' out, follow my rules
    I had a vision of everything hidden
    But always around me, it fought me, it found me
    While floating away, going away on the tide
    Shooting through time while my eyes getting glassy
    And land while I watched seasons rocketing past me
    They're going away, a little more every day, all the time
    On the balcony in the brilliant sea where 'need
    A voice spoke to me and said these things just gotta be
    I don't know why, and I said here's to the freeway flasher
    Here's to the desperate dasher, gone, I'mma keep him from crashing on
    And stay one, I know you think you miss him
    I know you think you knew him
    But you were just passing through the light
    And he is leaving now, he's gone Writer/s: WILL SHEFF
