Safe Shallows

I won the tug of war with the riptide
Just before my head caved in
Dueling with the depths brought the whispers
Sent from paranormal lips
Now stingrays search to feed
And they don't crave anything on me

I wondered with you in a dark water town
It's hard to wear shoes made of sand so far down
There's eight legged freaks within reach
Coral or concrete

You still can't hear or interfere
The static seductions are plugging your ears
Like the sea deep underneath
And the shallows were meant for me

The roots keep coming back
Like a tinsel for the tomb that grows and grows
A warming speck of red in the picture
Like a cemetery rose
Now overgrown in green
The flatline goes unseen

Infection reflecting on my satellite
You can't make a fist, still I wait on your strike
Just games with hyenas in flames
And this time it's all in your name

You still can't hear or interfere
The static seductions are plugging your ears
Like the sea deep underneath
And the shallows were meant for me

The ravens whip away the pavement
Take it on the chin
Erase me if I'm such a waste
Throw caution to the wind
So I stepped in the beauty of the depths
And I saw your skeleton

You still can't hear or interfere
You've got the static seductions plugging your ears
Like the sea deep underneath
And the shallows were meant for me
You still can't hear
Doubting the spears
The static seductions about to outnumber the trees
Sink to your knees
These shallows were meant for
