Mudlark

You pushed me away from you

Into the water

My heart was once as big as the sky

So vast you couldn’t see it

The force of the current

Battering my flesh

It shredded me

Just bits and pieces forced

Into the silty deep beneath the waves

Now when you look at me all you see

Is flashes of yourself

A reflection on the surface

Broken shades of blues and grays

I wanna lie

Staring up at the sky

I want your body

Stretched out your weight upon me

I want to force of gravity

To crush you against me

And turn every cell into dust

I wanna rise

Into a cloudless night

A secret revealed to the stars

Now when you look at me all you see

Is flashes of yourself

A reflection on the surface

Broken shades of blues and grays

It’s never enough

It’s never enough

It’s never enough

Never enough

Now your walking the shore

Scavenging for bits of me

Scavenging for bits of me

The river won’t give me back to you

The river won’t give me back to you

The river won’t give me back to you

The river won’t give me back to you

The river won’t give me back to you

The river won’t give me back

Now when you look at me all you see

Is flashes of yourself

A reflection on the surface

Broken shades of blues and grays

Now when you look at me all you see

Is flashes of yourself

Now when you look at me

Oh look at me, oh look

Look, look, look, look

Now when you look at me all you see

Is flashes of yourself

Now when you look at me all you see

Is yourself
