Sea Dogs & Pyrite Lyrics by Soft Cough

Soft Cough

2016

[Verse 1]
What to say, I'm just glad I stayed home
'Cause a day off's the way off this titanic mind
Coffee grounds look something like burial mounds
Heavy, black, steaming, and elephantine
Well I'm weightless, pale, clammy, and impish today
I will float with the ghosts and scare people away
With unspeakable boilings and tearings apart
I've drowned in mathematics; now sleeping alone is an art
[Verse 2]
Friends float down rivers while laughing at government schemes
Other friends' livers remember the days they were clean
Things we put in our bodies, just where do they go?
You think you're such an expert, then you oughta know
[Verse 3]
We are sea dogs with pyrite to fill up those cracks in between
Igniting the crevices, reading some Life magazines
From the 50s, or the 60s
All the junk I've consumed, it resides in a jar
An archive of my mistakes, ever preserved in the stars
[Chorus]
If I could live one day over, I've got one in mind
Would've done it correctly if I woke up on time
Live one day over, I've got one in mind
Would've done it correctly if I woke up on time
[Post-Chorus]
What to do? I'm just troubled by you
And the way you behave, it's incredibly hard to explain
Well, I'm ill; I'm just bothered and thrilled
That someone would put up for so long
Now I guess it's so long again
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
There are things that we put in our bodies
We know what we're doing and we aren't sorry
Honestly, I don't know how to react
You think hurting yourself doesn't hurt anybody else
[Pre-Chorus]
There are things that we do that we don't even realize
Sometimes
There are people we hurt, yet they stay at our sides
But only sometimes
There are signs that some people don't want me around
Anymore
There are oceans of strangers and I think its time that I
Went and drowned
[Chorus]
If I could live one day over, I've got one in mind
Would've done it correctly if I woke up on time
Live one day over, I've got one in mind
Would've done it correctly if I woke up on time
[Outro]
Live one day over, I got one in mind
Would've done it correctly if I
"Your hand's flat, your hand's freezing," said the man in the mirror
Count on the girl of your dreams 'til they shear her
(Lights off) (Lights off, yeah)
