I.
i lay the ghosts
of all the people i've been
to rest in the water
and i watch them be
                                              s w e p t
                                                               out
                                                                       to
                                                                                s e a

II.
​she holds all the secrets of the world with such jealousy
i know within her my ghosts will be better than buried
i know she will drown them
i know she will never let them come up for air
​i know they will never see the light of day

III.
i know i don't want to be known
​i know she will not let me be
