about

It's raining sharks again.
Good thing they haven't scented my heart yet.
(I adore the way they only seem to be in my mind.)

Oh, the sea and the wind
and the sailboats on the horizon...
If I close my eyes then all that's left is what's inside me,

and what the fuck is all this stuff inside me?
And what the fuck am I supposed to do with sharp feelings of division within me...
Oh, harp: break your strings, and then tell me you can sing-

well beneath my skin it's the same thing.

All this aimless blood pumping-
if I could harness it for energy, or for love- well.
How lucky I would be, and how gruff with affection in my throat.

But instead of an actual note of sincerity,
my voice overflows with reluctancy:
metaphorically, if the sharks had any mercy they would devour me-

(But I can open my eyes and ignore
the hours I spend heartsick and silent.)
my mind is calm, but my heart is violent.

Nonsense. Nonsense. Nonsense. Nonsense...

lyrics

It's raining sharks again.
Good thing they haven't scented my heart yet.
(I adore the way they only seem to be in my mind.)

Oh the sea and wind

and what the fuck is all this stuff inside me?
And what the fuck am I supposed to do with sharp feelings of division within me?
Oh, harp: break your strings and then tell me you can sing-

well beneath my skin it's the same thing.

All this aimless blood pumping,
If I could harness it for energy, or for love- well.
How lucky I would be, and how gruff with affection in my throat.

But instead of an actual note of sincerity,
my voice overflows with reluctancy:
metaphorically, if the sharks had any mercy they would devour me-

(But I can open my eyes and ignore
the hours I spend heartsick and silent.)
my mind is calm, but my heart is violent.

Nonsense. Nonsense. Nonsense. Nonsense.
