Marlinspike Lyrics by Telethon

Swim Out Past The Breakers

2021

Wake up call, it’s 5am
Don’t they know I’ve been wide-open-eyed since I got in?
Je suis ‘merican. Ici pour le travail. Excusez mon français
It’s my first time overseas. I’m about to turn 29
I wish that my phone would stop crying
That I’ve got reason this seems isolated;
Reason to be fucking wired
I just nearly got bricked by a Kymco
And I’m worried that I’m losing my mind

I hate this place because it’s so strange
Hate how it’s interjected the real
Into a cut-and-bone-dry routine
Resent the universal appеal
I mean, really, this place isn’t so strangе
The people seem honest and ideal
But I hate how it’s disrupted routine
‘cause I love routine above everything

Wi-Fi network bars stand firm upright
You’ve just sent a message that you’ve arrived
Merci mes étoiles chanceuses
Ce n'est pas the best experience I’ve had thus far
Within a minute of keying you in
I have noticed that I’ve stopped freaking out

Know you know you have the power to calm me
And you know you keep a stillness that simply
Decompresses all the tension within me
Makes me feel less like I’m gonna burst
And I love you for the person you are
Like I loved you for the person you were
All the changes that you’ve seen in yourself?
Those changes didn’t even occur

Accepting that has been
The uphill battle
We forget we both can read
Each others’ inner monologues
Without the need for
Putting words to temperatures
If I seemed unsure
It’s cause you seemed unsure

Wake up, buddy, it’s time to give up the fight
We’ve never been in a city so grey and so bright
We got another eight hours of light
I guess it’s time we had a moment of life
