Giraffe (By the Shore) Lyrics by Sive

The Roaring Girl

2017

There he was buried in the sand, I took his life into my hands
You would never notice him
But he had many paths from which to choose
Life in a box of technicolour, never knowing day from night
Or an eternity just floating
Choked by the foam and blinded in the light
But oh, there'd be so much you'd never see
If when I dug you up, I had taken you home with me
The fire dancing to the distant drumming of the rain
And you all safe in the glow
Maybe you're face down in the water
Maybe you're running out of breath
Maybe if I hadn't set you free
I'd have pulled you from the arms of death
Days could have come and gone forever
And like the bears and dolls you'd smile
Know I didn't mean to kill you slowly
You have seen the world through your painted eyes
And oh, isn't a short life better than a million days
Each one no different from the last?
If you could feel with your hollow body
Then you'd have more than I, as I wait by the shore
Oh take me out, and we will dive into the clouds
And when I leave the earth, I will explode into a thousand parts
The pieces of me will scatter out among the stars
I will be free
And you will no longer be lifeless
