Lyrics
Stollen by the waves
Coastline of brave
The ocean isn’t cruel
It just has its days
Fractured by the salt
Papercuts of innocence
It’s not hard to accept
When that’s the default
Ooo
Fuming at the waves
Fuming at the waves for an apology
Fuming at the waves for an apology it cannot give
Tossing in the weeds
Words with gills, they can’t survive
Above the evergreen
Bubbles make no sound
Bat against the wind
Futile sort of exercise
Top marks for trying
A prize worn with sighs
Ooo
