Vampire Squid

Down here at these depths Among the vampire squids There is no movement Oh it's bliss Tucked into tides Deep water blankets surround Replacing embraces we lost or never had Sometimes I think sleep is practice for death And we are sleeping all of the time I feel the waves (they're crashing) Reverberating (inside my head) Want it to stop (it never will) I swear I sympathize But I can't bring myself to lay down next to you She didn't ask to Be unable to see The social cues she needed to thrive to survive He didn't ask to Be unable to write The mountain of paperwork that Proves he is alive Oh it's so exhausting All this forced convenience Seems easier to stop moving Feel the lovely stillness I feel the waves (they're crashing) Reverberating (inside my head) Want it to stop (it never will) I swear I sympathize But I can't bring myself to lay down next to you She didn't ask for All those people to take Things from her that can never be returned No they can't He didn't ask to Be unable to hear Anything but the same phrase Out of every single crooked mouth We just want to hurt you We just want to see you in pain We just want to hurt you We just want to take everything that you have We just want we just...who are we anyway? I'm not here to hurt you But I can't leave you alone To sink into this sea of paranoia
