The Oceans - Shelley Murley

It's all kicking off again Words buzz but certainly don't sink in The rain hits the tiles on the bathroom floor Hissing little rattlesnake All fired up and ultimately afraid So slam the door Cos baby when you talk like that The pain moves from my chest to my lower back Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea? I thought we could communicate Perhaps do a few things the old fashioned way Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea? I'm praying for a soft exit Good neighbours who occasionally baby sit Then double-cross behind the scenes Yes, okay, maybe, we're probably not To end up, but know we go through quite a lot It needs to stop Cos baby when you talk like that The pain moves from my chest to my lower back Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea? I thought we could communicate Perhaps do a few things the old fashioned way Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea? I punch my head, don't know what you want from me It's a fucked up world so let's talk about it, please They wanna make sketch shows about my anxiety dreams Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea?

We could sail across the seven seas Take you far away from the mysteries that reminds you Of the loneliness in you heart We could search for islands far and near Join in creation Look to hear all the songs They've been singing all these years Search across the oceans For who you are been lost for too long Searching for a secret In coming home we find we have all we need If my boat were ever to drift ashore Would you come find me Your ropes and oars are a beacon That's hidden deep within my soul So I'll bury my treasure And bury it deep with all of my footprints I've hidden the keys You can find them at the bottom of this sea Search across the oceans For who you are been lost for too long Searching for a secret In coming home we find we have Search across the oceans For who you are been lost for too long Searching for a secret In coming home we find So why are we always going to waste (Eh, oh, eh, oh) Pull me together and put me in place (Eh, oh, eh, oh) So why are we always going to waste (Eh, oh, eh, oh) Pull me together and put me in place (Eh, oh, eh, oh) Search across the oceans For who you are been lost for too long In coming home we find Search across the oceans For who you are been lost for too long Searching for a secret In coming home we find we have all we need In coming home we find we have all we need In coming home you'll find you have all we need
