lyrics

A red sky in the morning is called a sailor’s warning
They say that it's a threat of storms ahead
I think that it's aesthetic and sailors are pathetic
The sea would look much nicer if they bled
There's something quite enjoyable when someone is destroyable, there's something that ignites inside my mind
There's something entertaining when someone's belief is waning, even more so when that person is so kind

The tide is coming in
You either sink or swim

It’s lightening in the veins, it’s something strange, unusual
It’s rattling in your skull, it’s like a pull, it's mutual
Oh you're a human being
And you're so sweet for seeing that in me
You fit in just so neatly
It’s thunder like a crash, a bright white flash, and skies that split
It’s drumming in your chest, and I suggest you live with it
Oh you're a human being
And you're naiive for seeing that in me
Don’t you care for your safety?

You say don't let the rain in and yet you are complaining
Whenever you are dry and safe and sound
You like the danger, dont you? So, you'll stick with me won't you?
The love that doesn’t float eventually drowns
There's something quite enjoyable when someone is destroyable, there's something that ignites inside my mind
There's something entertaining when someone's belief is waning, even more so when that person is so kind

The tide is coming in
You either sink or swim
It’s lightening in the veins, it’s something strange, unusual
It’s rattling in your skull, it’s like a pull, it's mutual
Oh you're a human being
And you're so sweet for seeing that in me
You fit in just so neatly
It’s thunder like a crash, a bright white flash, and skies that split
It’s drumming in your chest, and I suggest you live with it
Oh you're a human being
And you're naiive for seeing that in me
Don’t you care for your safety?

You prolong your suffering, reminds me so much of him
You chase the tide and then you find the waters frightening
Sandpiper on the land, flit from sea to sand
‘Cus deep beneath are jagged teeth that you misunderstand

It’s lightening in the veins, it’s something strange, unusual
It’s rattling in your skull, it’s like a pull, it's mutual
Oh you're a human being
And you're so sweet for seeing that in me
You fit in just so neatly
It’s thunder like a crash, a bright white flash, and skies that split
It’s drumming in your chest, and I suggest you live with it
Oh you're a human being
And you're naiive for seeing that in me
Don’t you care for your safety?
