Dear Ocean Lyrics by Deva St. John

2019

I want to breathe like I used to
When I was a child
But now there’s blood in the sink
And I don’t ever sleep
Sweet ignorance
Back when I didn’t know my body is drowning me

I’m cynical now
I feel sticky, art come save me
Low now
Sick’s so thick, please, art come breathe for me
Dear ocean in my chest, crash up against my head
I’m so sick now
All I can taste is salt
My future is under a microscope
I’m so sick now
Mary Jane, save me
Jim Beam, knock me out

Well, I’m a little oiled and I’m feeling fine
In fact I’m kind of feeling like fucking you up tonight
Someone pass me cigarette and let me choke on it
Intimacy issues and CF aside, I’m terrified of a future without art

‘Cause I’m cynical now
I feel sticky, art come save me
Low now
Sick’s so thick, please, art come breathe for me
Dear ocean in my chest, crash up against my head
I’m so sick now
All I can taste is salt
My future is under a microscope
I’m so sick now
Mary Jane, save me
Jim Beam, knock me out

Death doesn’t know me, but I see him around
Death doesn’t know me, but we live in the same town
Death doesn’t know me, but I feel him near
Death doesn’t know me, but I know him

I want to breathe like I used to
When I felt alive
